Those packages have just been lost due to circumstances beyond our control.
They were formerly at ftp.terraplex.com.

Fukui makes frequent releases of bleeding-edge packages, such as X and the 2.4
kernel.
Ani's rsync tree isn't updated that frequently (or wasn't in the past; I
haven't looked recently) and tends to be the first place that PPC-specific
driver fixes and features are introduced. However, that's just the source -
you're on your own for packaging it. Or just 'make install' and don't worry
about it. :)

Not sure. I think the Orion "just works" as a Rage 128, though I've never
tried it. I believe it should work in the YDL packages (XFree86 4.0.3).
