I haven't tried this yet, but depending on your motivations you might want to know about Fink (fink.sourceforge.net), which ports Debian's apt system to MacOS X.

Re: Debian on an iBook
Yeh, I agree that Fink is over-rated. I've used it and find it frustrating. In fact, for whatever reason, running KDE under fink will eventually just drag my system down to a near stop. I then have to close it and restart it. Here's a site I found. http://mij.oltrelinux.com/ibook/step_step/index.html Gilger.John wrote: Fink is highly over-rated (as is OSX).

Re: Debian on an iBook
I'm running an old Power Book G3 Series with OS X and Fink and it works wonderfully. The support from the email list is fantastic. I've only run into a couple of problems and they were resolved within a day thanks to the list. Because of Fink I'm cutting my teeth on Linux with Debian. Installation was a breeze, everything but the X server ran the first time. Matter o' fact, as soon as I get some motivation to copy the log, I've got a question on configuring X --Matt On Thursday, November 14, 2002, at 01:40 PM, Jim Hickstein wrote: I haven't tried this yet, but depending on your motivations you might want to know about Fink (fink.sourceforge.net), which ports Debian's apt system to MacOS X.
