This brings up an unusual requirement:  I am now the proud owner of an iMac G4 Desklamp, with a bad Hard Drive but, otherwise in good condition.  I just checked Debian PPC support, namely ppc64el which, specifically excludes old PPC Macs. 

So how far back, in the Debian Archives do I need to go, before I find something that supports a G4? 

Thank you and best regards,
