For how long will SuSE continue to produce security updates for
SuSE-7.3 on ppc?
If SLES is not an option, is there a future for SuSE users on ppc?

You cannot install the Intel version on a PPC (unless you run it in an
emulator ;-).
If you have enough money, you can purchase the Enterprise Server for PPC.
Otherwise you unfortunatelly have to use a different distribution.

It is the last "normal" boxed-version. For my one I've recompiled SuSE
8.2 on PPC with a lot of updates (kernel 2.4.23 with alsa 1.0rc2, gcc
3.3.1, kde 3.1.4, OOo 1.1, IBM J2SDK 1.4.1, ... all security updates
and so on) and packages not included in the IA32 version (for example
pmud, pbbuttons).
I've asked SuSE for month for allowance to make it public. I've got a
lot of good response from developers and some help, when I had
problems. But there's no response from SuSE's (or Novell's) lawyers.
I don't wan't to say it's a complete distribution. I don't have
handbooks or special installation routines, but it's a pool of > 3000
RPMs and I think it would be a good base to do the missing things. And
it's running stable on my old PowerBook G3.
