What about opening the machine, disconnecting the power cable from

Many Apple users do, but most depend on M$ Office.
Now for Apple itself... Gates and Jobs are rumoured to be friends,
and their world views are more similar than people realise.

Could I please have your help? I have three Macs which I intend to
use with Debian. I'm experienced in IBM PC-compatibles installations but
never succeeded in a RISC one - have already tried a Digital Alpha and a
beige G3.

I follow the HURD kernel cousin bulletin... what I've read there is
that Hurd for now is strictly x86, even if it is being made with portability
in mind. The ultimate goal is that Hurd

It seems that many people who want to get real work done are going
for Debian... we should sell ourselves better.

Other companies interesting to ask for our machines would be the

It is a great idea, but not for Penguin's target market of high

The same kernel, different installers, package managers and package
file formats. Debian uses the *.deb packages and dpkg package manager,
LinuxPPC uses *.rpm and the RPM Red Hat Package Manager.

Here is a somewhat hypotethical question...
I have a PowerMac G3 233 (beige) and a Canon BJC-600 printer. Now
the printer is Centronics (parallel) only, while the Mac has PCI slots and
ADB ports but no Centronics. In MacOS I could buy PowerPrint Plus which is
an ADB to Centronics
This is more a curiosity for me, since I'm at Brasil and it is not
feasible to bring this equipment here...
But at http://www.mcg.mot.com I've found only 604 motherboards, no
G3s; and the systems are just rack-mounted servers. Similarly from IBM I've

I live at Brazil and am working at Israel for a few weeks. Now
I need a Linux notebook, and instead of a Intel machine I thought
of getting a Debian PPC CD and an used PowerBook. I can't buy new
because later I won't be able to import a new computer into Brazil
without much hassle
