Can you explain your concern better to me?  Ubuntu has 'apt' which is 
often called the best of the package management systems.  Debian people 
sure think so anyway :-)   I would think it at least the equal of yum.  
  And while I haven't looked I thought the ppc packages available were 
pretty extensive... What don't I know?
