"Slackintosh was a little-known PPC port of Slackware Linux which after some years of development was put on indefinite hiatus. Adrian Ulrich has recently restarted the project and is again providing (together with Marco Bonetti) a Slackware distribution for Apple (and non-Apple) RISC-powered hardware. We contacted him for a short interview to ask him what happened, what is his role and what is the distribution's status."

Those are all "PowerPC". RISC includes a number of architectures: ARM processors are RISC for example.

This is available to the common user, and while very expensive, it's not much different in price to a tricked out powermac

There are only AmigaONE, Pegasos II, Efika and Sam440EP "Samantha" as non-Apple RISC powered hardware that are on the market and available for the common user, and not for industrial purposes only...
