Re: Kernel for PowerPC (AppleMac)
Woody works great on powerpc Macintoshes. I'm typing this on an old 8500 -
Woody has brought new life to a six year old computer, it's my main machine for
browsing and email, and also serves as a masquerading gateway for my office lan.
You will need more than just a kernel, you will also need all the user
executables, config files, the whole distro. Woody has these.
You should subscribe to debian-powerpc and ask for tips there. Also see:

I think what you have is an Old World machine. If your Mac has the old kind of
rom that contained actual system software, rather than just being used for
booting, then you have an old world machine. You will need to know that for
when you install.
