Hey Everybody! This is just a quick update to say that I'm running Gentoo 2007.0 on my PowerBook G3! It's a Pismo (500MHz, 512mb/30gig/combo) and everything is going great! I have yet to configure wireless, or find out if there is some kind of battery monitor, but I'll make note of the package names once I do.
I compiled the kernel and all of the packages myself, it was actually quite easy, which makes me happy.
It is actually running quite well, other than my annoyance at the trackpad, which also happens with Mac OS, so there isn't much I can do I suppose.
If I can get it to rip CDs and copy files from my digital camera (it's a temporary storage spot while I'm on trips) then this would be a realistic mobile setup for me. I am pleased with how well xfce4 and OpenOffice.ORG 2 respond. However, I think I might need to find an even lighter-weight word processor, we'll see.
