This post and all the files need to be mirrored someplace. I can expect needing/wanting this in like 6 months and then files will be gone
I'll put it up in the Debian wiki.
Does this port of Debian run under systemd or sysvinit?
You can use upstart, sysvinit, openrc or systemd as you prefer.
Is there any support for the PowerPC addons?
If you mean PowerPC accelerators, of course. Debian doesn't tie the CPU to the rest of the hardware. You would just install the powerpc port of Debian.
Is the reason you're helping maintain the Debian port along the same lines as why NetBSD maintains their port?
I don't know what NetBSD's intentions are, but I do it for fun and to learn things. Why are you using an Amiga these days? Certainly not because it's more economical and faster than a PC you could get for the fraction of the cost of a fast Amiga.
Just a few questions from a former GNU/Linux user who moved on recently.
To what? Debian is still the most universal operating system you can get.
One question though, AmigaOS3.1 or 3.9 with tons of Amiga programs as well, easily fits on hard drives only 1gb in size. Is Debian 68k really so large that it needs >4gb of hard drive space to be installed and have room for a few programs?
No. But since Debian has something around 30000 binary packages, there's lots of stuff you can try out and install. When you have a 160 GB disk available, what's the point in using just a fraction of the available disk space?
If the OS and program files are so large to need that much hard disk space, how can it run fast enough on a slow system, such as a 68020 Amiga, or Atari?
The amount of disk space used by an operating system has little to do on how fast it performs. I don't know where you got this idea from.
