There are five PPC subarchitectures of Linux:
* CHRP-compliant PowerPC machines
* PCI-based Power Macs
* PReP-compliant PowerPC machines
* Amigas with PowerPC upgrade cards
* 8xx embedded systems PowerPCs
Unfortunately, non-PowerMac PowerPC hardware is either nearly impossible to
find (in the US at least) or expensive. SMP PowerMacs are also expensive.
In any case, Linux doesn't support SMP on a very wide range of PowerPC
hardware.
