@Aere:

Thought I'd try to go back to when folks would try to respond to posts
here, rather than just "watch" the posts go on by . . . so, cool that
Debian is still providing an image for 32 bit . . . obviously it isn't
radically different than Ubuntu, other than having to do more stuff
"manually" to get them installed . . . .  Carry on with it . . . I just
checked for any remaining vestiges of "PPC" there, and, sadly . . . none
are current . . . I would assume that 32-bit will stagger forward there for
another couple of years before the ports start being "finicky" as they are
now in remaining Lu 16.04 PPC systems . . . "can't find the package at
http://ports/backports" . . . something like that . . . .

I've got a #Siduction/Plasma install which is based on Deb 10 . . . "sid" .
. . does have a bit of a learning curve to it to avoid blowing everything
up, but otherwise . . . more or less the generic linux system with the
usual band of debian type "purists" gathered around it . . . .
