hey all, well its good to be back.if anyone even remembers me =) anyhoo, now im back in the country and back on the slug mailing list. im curious if anyone is running linux on an ibook (of the clamshell) variety. the reason i ask is because, being the little *nix nut that i am, am now doing so. now performance and stability is lightyears ahead of macos9 (which is what was loaded when i first got this little bad boy) not to mention actually having some usefull applications =) but im still having some niggling problems with drivers. for your avg jo linux they probably wouldnt be classified as problems. but im pedantic.
so short of just sending me some google links, im curious if anyone can get me in contact with anyone whos running linux on ibook. or can put themselves in contact with me if they are running it.
just as a plug clamshell ibooks are dirt cheap on ebay and really are classy. not to mention that x runs great, sound (alsa *grin*), usb firewire, airport card (built in 802.11b) all work great. i havent got the modem working but frankly i dont care. its getting the ati card to work in X but not through framebuffer.
but they are cool. catch me sitting on the train watching dix's from the console through fb ;)
