Re: Linux on MAC.

[Dav Glass <systems@davglass.com>]

I run Gentoo on an iBook G4 & a G5 PowerMac. I also run YellowDog on a G4
Xserve.

My new G5 iMac arrives next week & I will dual boot that with Gentoo as
well.

Here are the things I have not been able to make work under Linux on a Mac:

Airport Extreme (Closed source Broadcom drivers)
Sleep support on my iBook.

Other than that, I have had no problems installing Linux on any Mac I have
owned (I have had several).

FYI: Gentoo Newsletter
Rumour confirmed - Gentoo first to run on Mac Mini!
