Today, I decided to give Linux a try on my iBook. I’ve been wanting Linux on my iBook for a long time, but I’ve simply never had the time to do it. I ran the occasional PowerPC live CD, but live CD’s are far cries from the real, installed thing. A second showstopper was that suspend never really worked– and I cannot use my iBook without suspend. After trying out a new live CD yesterday, I found out that suspend on lid closure now worked mighty fine on Linux/PPC; hence, it was time to do the real thing. And oh how I was left surprised. Note: This is this week’s Sunday Eve Column.
