12" G4 iBook



Hi all,

I'm considering upgrading to the new 12" G4 iBook.

Is anyone using Debian on this hardware? I suspect the problem areas would be:

 - Sleeping and successfully waking the machine
 - XFree86 acceleration for the Radeon 9200
 - AirPort Extreme support

Out of interest, how would the 800MHz G4 perform against my current iBook's
700MHz G3? I'm not really interested in floating point performance. The G3 has
a shorter pipeline, twice the L2 cache but the core clock is 100MHz slower and
the FSB is only 100MHz vs 133MHz on the G4.

Any tips would really be appreciated.

Thanks!

Will
