I have a PowerBook G4 15" and by jove it is a sexy little thing. I have Debian (Testing/Unstable) + Kernel 2.4.20 (benh) running on it and everything is great. X is great, sleep works, airport card works, sound works. Modem is a no.
Weeeeee someone got one! ;) Well, I would like to use OSX to be honest, but then I could always run XDarwin and use a seperate desktop ;) Hmm!
The only thing that is downside is the latest Java SDK's available are 1.3.1. IBM is working on a 1.4.1, but that's only beta at the moment.
Hmm cripes. Thanks.
Oh, another thing is the single mouse button. I don't like trackpads anyway so I always stick in a three-button mouse, so it's not a problem for me.
Heh. Well that is a little bit of a downfall but then I am not really bothered as long I can get things done!
Don't know how the above compares with an iBook, although I believe there are issues with maybe video card and ide stuff? Check out debian-powerpc list.
Perhaps. Thanks for taking the time to reply! I will check out Debian-powerpc but then again.. there is always gentoo ;)
