Powerpc distro suggestions

Is anyone using Debian on the PPC or other 'alternative' architecture 
(alpha, sparc, etc)?
I'm considering standardizing on Debian for my servers, due in part to 
their support for more non-x86 architectures than any of the commercial 
distro's (hopefully allowing me to resurrect some 500 MHZ Alpha systems 
from the boneyard as decent web/dns/e-mail servers).
I have the alpha CD's of Debian, but haven't tried installing yet...

I have a Sparc machine that I intend to put something on.  The way I have been going it will 
probably be Debian.  I need to get some other projects out of the way first though.  I have the 
older Debian 3.0r1 Sparc isos and I may still have the PPC isos.  I downloaded the PPC ones for 
Chris Wagner.  I'm hoping Debian gets their "testing" Net installer .iso files back up.  But there 
is a woody net installer that I'm going to get and try.  You can get these for i386,  PPC, m68k and 
Alpha here: http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/Debian-cd/ 

My guess is that Debian is going to be the distro of the future for alternative architectures like 
PPC and Sparc.  Just my opinion, but look at what happened to the Red Hat Sparc and PPC edition and 
Mandrake's is way out of date.
