This post is really aimed at the Debian PPC users. I was wondering if:
Writing to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would perhaps be better appropriated than ;-)
* Debian (Sarge/Sid at the current time) works on this PowerBook (I'd be going for the 15'' model).
yes, as far as I know it is working just fine.
* There are any known limitations with Debian on this Machine. * What hardware does/doesn't work -- e.g. Gigabit Ethernet, Wireless Ethernet, FireWire 800, Audio, Graphics (ATi Radeon 9700 Mobile).
Airport Extreme is not working (yet? - I heard that there were some folks doing some reverse engineering, haven't got a clue how far they have come thought...), that means you probably won't be able to get wireless lan under linux on that machine. :( That is, as of now, the only point keeping me of from buying myself an iBook, the lack of support for 802.11g...
* Have there been any production issues like there were in the past (blotch screens, loose catches)? I've not found mention of any so far but I never owned a Mac and am not sure which are the best sites to look at for information like this.
Once again, as far as I have heart, those production problems have been sorted out.
