L.S.
I have seen messages about a port to the powerpc platform, but can't find a link
to a repository, I am in the process of waking up my old classic Imac.
Right now the machine is beiing upgraded from Debian squeeze to wheezy, and the
idea of putting bloatware like KDE4 on it does not feel right.
Can anyone gif me a hint to where to lool?

PowerPC builds are available in alternative apt source known
as 'preliminary-stable-builds'. For Debian Wheezy add to sources.list:
deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb wheezy deps-r14 main-r14
To get gpg key:
apt-key adv --keyserver pks.gpg.cz --recv-key A04BE668

If I understand you correctly, how hard is it to get a Mac to run TDE?
I know they're both based on Unix.

Any new world PowerMac(iMac and newer and Powerbook G3 Lombard and
newer) can run Linux or NetBSD easily. You just need a PowerPC
specific port. Debian's is very good. Fedora had a recent PowerMac
port as well. I've run Linux on Old World macs as well like the
PowerMac 9600 but they are not really viable machines any more. G4s &
newer are very usable tho.
Running TDE requires it be recompiled and tested on Mac PowerPC hardware.
Any intel Mac can use the x86/x64 ports so there isn't anything extra needed.
I have been hoping to have time to test it on my iBook Clamshell but
haven't had time......

As of now my old G4 imac (slot load) machine is running TDE on it, it has for
the past 4 years been a dual boot with both OSX and Debian, only up to now LXDE
was the desktop installed.
Somewhere along the lines I must have made an error, because Trinity has not
installed the needed files and links to start at boot.
Where are the templates for these stored?

Hi,
I bought about 2 years ago an used and inexpensive imac g3 400mhz (the ones with a crt and
a colored translucent back), and it works quite well with Debian or Ubuntu for PowerPC,
but I had a hard time to configure X.org to get a graphical desktop environment. Once
set-up, I only had kind-of frame buffer graphic driver, but the rest of the computer is
well supported. The hard disk is half dead, and I don't have much time anymore to play
with it...
