+There are four major supported <emphasis>&architecture;</emphasis>
+subarchitectures: PMac (Power-Macintosh), 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 <emphasis>&architecture;</emphasis> architectures, such

+Most systems use this kernel flavour, which supports the PowerPC 601,
+603, 604, 740, 750, and 7400 processors. All Apple Power Macintosh

+
+The POWER3 processor is used in older IBM 64-bit server systems: known
+models include the IntelliStation POWER Model 265, the pSeries 610 and

+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.

+
+<para>
+
+Apple (and briefly a few other manufacturers &mdash; Power Computing, for
+example) makes a series of Macintosh computers based on the PowerPC
+processor. For purposes of architecture support, they are categorized
+as NuBus, OldWorld PCI, and NewWorld.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Macintosh computers using the 680x0 series of processors are not in
+the PowerPC family but are instead m68k machines. Those models start
+with <quote>Mac II</quote> or have a 3-digit model number such as Centris 650
+or Quadra 950. Apple's pre-iMac PowerPC model numbers have four digits.
+
+</para><para>
+
+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:

+
+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. The beige colored G3 systems are also OldWorld.
+
+</para><para>
+
+The so called NewWorld PowerMacs are any PowerMacs in translucent
+colored plastic cases. 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 <quote>ROM in
+RAM</quote> system for MacOS, and were manufactured from mid-1998 onwards.
