[ale] More Questions on laptops

[Thompson Freeman]

Well, I have an older ibook, currently running OS X.  I have run both SuSe
and Yellow Dog on it in the past, dual booting with Mac OS 8.x which came
on it (if I recall correctly). The big drawback for me (and it isn't that
big a drawback since I haven't done squat about it) is the limitation of
my older display with respect to both resolution and color depth. I
_think_ Apple has addressed the issue with the newer ibooks.

I'd be curious how well the ibook line handles dual boots from a firewire
connected disk (I think it can be done).
