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.

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.
