I don't believe I said architechture. I was speaking of the PPC chips. Which to me is different. Of all the legacy desktop chips though the PPC is the best IMHO. With a design like IBM's and the manufacturing process like INTELs would AMD or INTEL stand a chance? I actually found a non Mac PPC based system for sale. It comes pre-installed with Debian. Unfortunatly it is using G3/G4s not G5s. If only I had the money for a startup. I sense a market.
