-- why did you post here?
I got the 'book up and running with debian linux, all i did was remove the extra ram. There was an extra 512 (i think) installed, and i remembered that OSX couldnt see it when i was checking out the specs before i bought the ibook. anyway i removed it, and while yellowdog and opensuse still gave me problems, debian installed almost without a hitch.
The guy i bought this off of is also sending me the OSX that came with the ibook, OSX 10.3 i believe. Ill probably install that if i can when it gets here, as linux on ppc is not all i want it to be :S one of the biggest things is that flash 9 won't work, so no youtube! :O
