The question is, will Linux ever support a 64-bit user-space
on the G5? From my reading of arch/ppc and arch/ppc64, the
differences seem major so I'm not holding my breath, but perhaps
there is hope.

There is a 64 bits kernel for the G5, it's currently available
on YDL site, though I'll have the whole thing merged with Linus in
a few days (with some luck, 2.6.3 will boot out of the box on those
in both 32 bits and 64 bits versions).

Ubercool! Thanks.
