PPC versie Debian 3.1

Heeft iemand inmiddels de nodige ervaring met de installatie en de werking van Debian 3.1 op een Apple powerbook G4 (titanium)? Ik ben betrekkelijk nieuw in Linux land maar heb inmiddels mindere ervaringen met Ubuntu 6.06 en Yellow dog 4.1 wat betreft WiFi en mijn netwerkprinter HP 3600. Wellicht is de nieuwste Debian versie voor mij DE oplossing.

Cees,

Wifi on the Mac (Airport) is only recently been reverse engineered. You might search the archives of this list on that topic. I'm not sure how mature the driver is at the moment but it certainly isn't part of Debian 3.1 or Ubuntu. I'm not sure if it will be part of the upcoming Debian 4.0 release although it's supposed to be part of the 2.6.17 kernel which is part of Debian 4.0 AFAIK. It's worth looking into first, or you might be disappointed. Others on this list might he able to fill you in on it's status.

Some info on this drive can be found at: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
