I have a couple WD NATs which chug along on 32-bit PowerPC, a patched kernel and the last version of Debian before they dropped support for 32-bit PowerPC. Don't really plan to replace them before they break...do need to work out a backup "story" (as the kids would say) but they just hold old TV shows so if they let out the magic smoke then nothing important is lost. Would be nice if I could keep them up to date on the latest and greatest but nobody cares about the 32-bits anymore...
