Speaking of which...I'm itching to buy a Mac now. Can anyone comment on
how well the new Powerbook G4 supports linux? I want to assure myself
that I can plop linux on this Mac if I don't like OS X. I would also be
interested in hearing about the cube or tower if people have real-life
experience with them running linux.
