Re: Debian on an iBook

[Matt Richardson <marichar@csusb.edu>]

I'm running an old Power Book G3 Series with OS X and Fink and it works 
wonderfully.  The support from the email list is fantastic.  I've only 
run into a couple of problems and they were resolved within a day thanks 
to the list.  Because of Fink I'm cutting my teeth on Linux with 
Debian.  Installation was a breeze, everything but the X server ran the 
first time.  Matter o' fact, as soon as I get some motivation to copy 
the log, I've got a question on configuring X....
