Richard,
As Karsten mentioned, there are machines we can put you on (with way better perf than a G5 plus more memory) that are already publically available and running Fedora. Swing into #fedora-ppc and we can put you on one.

Upstream rejected this backend because they don't have the hardware required to maintain it.
What are their requirements ? Do they just need access to a ppc64
machine ?
I think we might be able to help out with that, I'll talk with Brent if
you can confirm
that ssh access to a machine is sufficient.
ISTR IBM even offered them a machine at the time, but they didn't want it.
Yeah, I offered to buy them a machine too, but they just don't want to maintain a ppc64 backend (or apparently not a non-Rhapsody one). In any case I'm fine maintaining this.
On the subject, what is a good cheap ppc64 machine to buy these days? A second hand G5?
Rich.
