Since I'm missing some useful software for MacOS 9 or X I decide to use SuSE 7.3 LINUX on my new iBook (bought two months ago) additionally.
I just found one comment on SUSE's homepage that everything should work fine, that's all...
Does anyone have any experience in installing and using LINUX, on this iBook? Are there any known problems, non-supported hardware (I've got an iBook 600 DVD/CD with 384 MB RAM)? And what about removing MacOS completely from the harddisk and using LINUX instead of it?
Look for the message "[Success] New iBook" in comp.os.linux.powerpc Personally, I use a ibook2 first generation with 7.1. I have tested following things: Sound Graphics(X-Server with fb) Network USB DivX playback I heard that the modem also work with special AT command. For the sound, you must use ben's kernel tree. The the standard kernel from 7.3 sound doesn't work.
