'ello, I am trying to justify buying a new PowerBook G4 (1.5GHz) over a far cheaper x86 laptop. I'm buying it for my final year at University (I use a laptop in lectures because I'm visually impaired and also my project requires me to be able to work in a number of places where desktops may not be available). It'll be my only computer whilst I'm there.
This post is really aimed at the Debian PPC users. I was wondering if: * Debian (Sarge/Sid at the current time) works on this PowerBook (I'd be going for the 15'' model). * 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). * 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. Thanks in advance for any advice/information you may have; it's greatly appreciated. bye just now, -- Matthew T.
