[ale] Linux on an Apple iBook

[Jason Vinson]

I have to attend an event at my church tomorrow evening, so I will be missing the ale meeting.  Hopefully i could see your (Jordi) setup at the next meeting.  I actually decided to go with the powerbook:

Titanium PowerBook G4 667MHz Combo (DVD/CD-RW) System Only
667MHz PowerPC G4, 512MB SDRAM, 30GB Ultra ATA Drive, Slot Load
Combo(DVD/CD-RW), 56K Modem, 15.2 Mega Wide Screen, Gigabit EtherneT, 2 USB, 1 FireWire, Mac OS X (Airport Included)

Sorry... i had to gloat  ;)
Jason

I dual booted an iBook (much slower) before OS X came out, using Yellow 
Dog Linux. Except for trying to get my tiny mind wrapped around the boot 
procedure, and a couple of maturity issues (sound for one), it ran well, 
and presented no headaches. Ditto with SuSe, although the boot process for 

SuSe was different than Yellow Dog.

Since putting OS X 10.2 on that machine, I haven't messed with Linux on 
Mac as it has been just much easier to boot OS X and be done with it. As 
such, I'd be curious about your more recent experiences.
