[PLUG] iBook Linux compatibility

["W. Chris Shank" <chris.shank@acetechgroup.com>]

Well, at first I was enamored with OS X - but now that I have been using
for several weeks - I'm finding Aqua to be rather unstably and cumbersome.
I had Linux running on this but only for a VERY short time (I needed the
local disk space to handle the movie files I was working with, so I gave
up the linux   part).  I'm considering putting linux back on - which will
be major effort to reinstall not only linux but OS X too. Before I do, I'm
wondering what the REAL compatibilty is like - assuming I will use the
latest image from YellowDog.

Particularily how is -

-airport support
-USB support (plug and play?)
-FireWire support
-video acceleration
-power management (does it sleep/wake properly?)

Anyone using an iBook (mine is dual USB 700Mhz) with Linux can tell me how
well this stuff _really_ works?

Thanks
