at http://www.debian.org/distrib/, there's useful information for
initial installs; also, see http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist
for the mirror nearest you, and dril down through
debian/dists/[frozen|slink|whatever]/*/ and find:
binary-m68k/ Tue Jun 13 20:51:00 2000 Directory
binary-powerpc Wed Apr 7 00:00:00 1999 Symbolic link
(looks like the powerpc item is just a link to the old 68k
rendition, which is not the best situation in the world
for powerpc mac users.)
at least we can run a version of debian on our old macs
in theory--whether your particular hardware upgrades
altered the feasibility or not is something you have to
determine on your own...
best of luck!
