I read:
i would love an assessment of how hard it was getting debian to run on
a mac
depends, oldworld = PITA generally on newer macs it's pretty straightforward, there are some annoyances you'll run into but google #debianppc and the debian ppc list and archives are your friend. I happily run debian only on my tibook since i got it. the newer ones have some problems like airport extreme - forget it, nvidia based gfx chipset ? kiss dri goodbye ... need the tv out ? I didn't manage to get it to work on mine (vga out is fine though)
just my 0.02EUR
