[SATLUG] Linux on a iBook

[Jesse Gonzalez]

Is there any particular reason you want to run linux on your iBook? I
assume your running Panther, but Tiger is coming out soon, and from
the ADC Tech Talks I went to late last year, the new Tiger and XCode
features sound very promising. But, due to an NDA I cannot discuss
them.

If it's software you want, fink works great. Gentoo (portage) has been
ported to OS X as well, but last time I checked it was not production
ready.
