Considering switch back to Linux, some questions
I used to run LinuxPPC on my Lombard laptop, now I am running OS X PB, which is better than the "classic" MacOS, but still chains me to a pretty much unchangeable system (OTOH, LinuxPPC had/has a nasty habit of using what appears to be non-standard directory structures). However, there were 2 core features that were missing (IMO) from Linux at the time I was running it -- power management and location manager. Do these features exist today with the l8est Debian release?
I was also wondering if people were dual-booting their Macs, or using Mac-on-Linux, or just ignoring MacOS software completely. The only MacOS software I use (currently) that do not appear to have a PPC/Linux equivalent are MS Office products (my understanding is that there is no StarOffice/PPC version -- at least I was unable to find one downloadable at Sun, and the only reason I need Office is to read documents sent to my by co-workers) and games -- and the only important one is the games (at least to me).
Thanks for any insights.
