I dont think _this_ thread is the cause for Bens perception, rather those threads which _started_ with these mails (and others): http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2006/04/msg00407.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2006/08/msg00100.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2006/09/msg00139.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2006/11/msg00164.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2006/11/msg00137.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2007/01/msg00012.html *sigh* And to repeat what not only I've said before: various debian people (whether they are part of the installer team or not) care about powerpc, are happy about patches and run it daily on their main machines. And to repeat what also has been said before: the ongoing flamewars probably hurt the powerpc port more than anything else. I switched my focus mostly over to powerpc on debian-edu (instead of debian-installer) cause I'm sick of these flamewars. But I'm also sick to hear that debian (or the debian-installer team) wants the powerpc port to die or that it's dead already (so I sometimes take a stand in this dispute). FUD as its best. regards, Holger
