A Debian nem igényel a Linux és a GNU eszköz-készletek által kívántnál több hardvert. Ezért minden gépen, melyen a Linux kernel, a libc, a gcc és a többi fut, és melyre a Debian portolva van, futtatható a Debian. Lásd a Debian portok oldalát a http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/ címen a jelen PowerPC architektúra rendszerekről, melyek teszteltek a Debian rendszerrel.
A jelen, PowerPC architektúra által támogatott összes különböző hardver konfiguráció leírásának megkísérlése helyett, e fejezet általános adatokat és még részletesebb adatokra való hivatkozásokat ad.
A Debian 4.0 12 nagy architektúrát támogat és minden architektúra számos változatát, melyeket „kivitelek” (flavors) néven említünk.

E dokumentum leírja a Debian PowerPC architektúrára telepítését. Ha más, Debian által támogatott architektúra érdekel, nézd meg a Debian portok oldalt.
There are four major supported powerpc subarchitectures: PMac (Power-Macintosh or PowerMac), PReP, APUS (Amiga Power-UP System), and CHRP machines. Each subarchitecture has its own boot methods. In addition, there are four different kernel flavours, supporting different CPU variants.
Ports to other powerpc architectures, such as the Be-Box and MBX architecture, are underway but not yet supported by Debian. We may have a 64-bit port in the future.
There are four flavours of the powerpc kernel in Debian, based on the CPU type:
Most systems use this kernel flavour, which supports the PowerPC 601, 603, 604, 740, 750, and 7400 processors. All Apple PowerMac machines up to and including the one marketed as G4 use one of these processors.
The power64 kernel flavour supports the following CPUs:
The POWER3 processor is used in older IBM 64-bit server systems: known models include the IntelliStation POWER Model 265, the pSeries 610 and 640, and the RS/6000 7044-170, 7043-260, and 7044-270.
The POWER4 processor is used in more recent IBM 64-bit server systems: known models include the pSeries 615, 630, 650, 655, 670, and 690.
Systems using the Apple G5 (PPC970FX processor) are also based on the POWER4 architecture, and use this kernel flavour.
This kernel flavour supports the PReP subarchitecture.
This kernel flavour supports the Amiga Power-UP System, though it is currently disabled.
Apple (and briefly a few other manufacturers — Power Computing, for example) made a series of Macintosh computers based on the PowerPC processor. For purposes of architecture support, they are categorized as NuBus (not supported by Debian), OldWorld, and NewWorld.
OldWorld systems are most Power Macintoshes with a floppy drive and a PCI bus. Most 603, 603e, 604, and 604e based Power Macintoshes are OldWorld machines. Those pre-iMac PowerPC models from Apple use a four digit naming scheme, except for the beige colored G3 systems, which are also OldWorld.
The so called NewWorld PowerMacs are any PowerMacs in translucent colored plastic cases and later models. That includes all iMacs, iBooks, G4 systems, blue colored G3 systems, and most PowerBooks manufactured in and after 1999. The NewWorld PowerMacs are also known for using the „ROM in RAM” system for MacOS, and were manufactured from mid-1998 onwards.
Specifications for Apple hardware are available at AppleSpec, and, for older hardware, AppleSpec Legacy.

NuBus systems are not currently supported by Debian/powerpc. The monolithic Linux/PPC kernel architecture does not have support for these machines; instead, one must use the MkLinux Mach microkernel, which Debian does not yet support. These include the following:
Power Macintosh 6100, 7100, 8100
Performa 5200, 6200, 6300
Powerbook 1400, 2300, and 5300
Workgroup Server 6150, 8150, 9150
A linux kernel for these machines and limited support is available at http://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net/.
Macintosh computers using the 680x0 series of processors are not in the PowerPC family but are instead m68k machines. Those models start with „Mac II” series, go on to the „LC” family, then the Centris series, and culminate in the Quadras and Performas. These models usually have a Roman numeral or 3-digit model number such as Mac IIcx, LCIII or Quadra 950.
This model range started with the Mac II (Mac II, IIx, IIcx, IIci, IIsi, IIvi, IIvx, IIfx), then the LC (LC, LCII, III, III+, 475, 520, 550, 575, 580, 630), then the Mac TV, then the Centris (610, 650, 660AV), the Quadra (605, 610, 630, 650, 660AV, 700, 800, 840AV, 900, 950), and finally the Performa 200-640CD.
In laptops, it started with the Mac Portable, then the PowerBook 100-190cs and the PowerBook Duo 210-550c (excluding PowerBook 500 which is Nubus, please see the section above).
A Debian támogatása az alapvető grafikus felülethez az X.Org X11 rendszerében adott támogatástól függ. A legtöbb AGP, PCI és PCIe videó kártya működik X.Org alatt. A támogatott grafikus buszok, kártyák, monitorok és mutató eszközök részletei a http://xorg.freedesktop.org/ címen találhatók. A Debian 4.0 az X.Org 7.1 változattal érkezik.
A több-processzoros támogatás — melyre az angol „symmetric multi-processing” vagy SMP — néven is hivatkoznak szintén elérhető ezen architektúrához. De az alap Debian 4.0 kernel-kép nem támogatja az SMP-t. Ez nem gátolja a telepítést, mert az alap nem-SMP kernel elindul SMP-rendszereken; egyszerűen csak az 1. CPU-t használja.
A többszörös processzor előnyének kihasználásához le kell cserélned az alap Debian kernelt. Ennek egy kitárgyalását a 8.6. szakasz - Új rendszermag (kernel) fordítása részben találod. Jelenleg (kernel version 2.6.18) az SMP kikapcsolásának módja a kernel konfiguráció „Platform support” szakasz „Symmetric multi-processing support” lehetőségének bekapcsolásával lehetséges.
