Well I'm not sure what to say so I'll just say whats on my mind.
It think that a ppc port is becoming useless especially because mac as switched to the intel chips and in a year or two ppc will be pretty much of date. Most geeks that want to run ppc linux on there macs will have a new mactel. It just seems like you guys are trying to put to much work into something that will end up dying in a year or two. Arch64 has a better chance because it is much newer techology.
I hope that I don't sound like a complete jerk.
Personally, I think nothing could be farther from the truth. I think ppc is going through a renaissance because apple is leaving. There are new powerpc chips on the way, from quad core to octa-core. IBM is already working on the next gen of powerpc chips too. ppc still owns the embedded market as well. Please do some more reading...
