[luau] New Powerbook

[Thomas Hackett]

Hi Nathan,

I use a PowerMac G4 ( 533 MHz Digital Audio series ) for most things.  
I'm running Mac OS X v10.3 right now.  It's great!  I know that Richard 
Stallman probably wouldn't agree, but I sure hope you're dual booting 
on the power book.  Mac OS X is too great to pass up.

A few months back, I decided I didn't want to be the only guy without a 
laptop so I bought an old ThinkPad 390x on ebay.  It's great too.
I've been running the unstable branch of Debian on it.  Just recently I 
decided I want more flexibility on the laptop's system so I backed up 
my files re-partitioned and now I'm running Knoppix 3.3 and I'm going 
to install Fedora Core 1 or 2 soon.

I hope Yellow Dog Linux works out well.  I remember using it on a 
revision A Bondi iMac.  Back then it was still pretty new and things 
weren't very easy to setup, but I bet Yellow Dog has matured a lot 
since then and your powerbook will probably be automatically detected 
for the most part.  Good luck!
