Ok, the PPC macs are PCI and run Debian, the m68k mac also runs Debian..
I have been running linux on the m68k Mac for 12 months, I would not consider it
past it at all.. In fact, I have an old iiSi with an '030 that also runs debian.
It's a bit slow but it's still a 68k Mac, and with a ppp link to the rest of my
network. So no, all of my machines run a native kernel.
