Yeah, I should have mentioned that.  My only Debian/Sparc machine was  
running stable until it was retired, but it ran fine on that... many  
packages were unavailable though.

And I only ran Debian/PPC for a very short time, it was just utterly  
annoying, and OSX came out, and worked better on those machines.
