I currently running Kubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS on my Powerbook G4 12". Everything worked right out except the airport wireless card. then I followed a document on the ubuntu site and the wireless card works like a charm. everything works now except realplayer and i can't figure out why.
I switched in January of this year. I needed a laptop for school and went to compusa and got a toshiba. two days later it was slow and filled with spyware and other things. so i returned it and got a powerbook g4 because a friend suggested it to me and showed me his. the most interesting part of the powerbook was the terminal icon in Applications/Utilities. that got me sold. my PB is a 1.33 with 60gb harddrive and 256 ram. three days after i getting it home, i went and bought a 100GB harddrive and 512mb ram. The powerbook was ripped open and got a new HD and more ram. Since then it has been a pleasure. in august i got a toshiba qosmio as a gift and till today can't figure out what to do with it except install linux and try to make it mac like. I now have a problem when it comes to windows. I simply can't use it. the mac pb changed everything because it just works. now am thinking of getting a new Desktop Computer but am not sure what to get, an imac or build an amd 64. i know i have a sweet spot for AMD machines and i just love to build them.
one more thing. Xcode Rock!!!
I don't understand what all the fuss is about. I have a Nokia 6260 and can play mp3 fine from it as well as listen to the radio. Plus Motorola always designed ugly and bad phone. I do like the designs of the iphone posted on this page. If you wanted a phone the does all this and is filled with other features then wait for the Nokia n91 to come out. should be released soon. now thats a phone. and for the guy with the treo, unlock it and change networks or get a sony ericsson p910I.
