Oh, a friend of mine gave me a PowerPC install+live CD just yesterday. 
Turns out he got a package with four copies of CDs for PPC, x86, and 
x86-64 each, shipped, and all for free on their website.  That's why I 
thought I'd mention it.  Free is a good price, and I didn't know any 
Linux organization would actually give you free CDs and shipping.

Hehe, no, it's just a repackaged Debian I think.  But on my machine it 
booted fine from CD out of the box, very nice.  It didn't seem to have 
stuff like gcc installed, but I think you could use the normal Debian 
tools to do that after installation.

the standard rather than HTML.  That would be ultimate cool.
