Debian Etch and PPC linuxes

A few days ago I decided I was going to install Debian PPC on my G4.

So far so good, it's been performing with a grace and stability little seen in the PPC linux world.

I have been very satisfied with Ubuntu on the x86 architecture but it's the pitts on PPC machines and sadly [Ubuntu] is no longer under devellopment for PPC.

I've been adding to it slowly and it took a little while to set up... the xorg config files originally set my monitor up as a CRT monitor when it was in fact an LCD. However once I got over that hurdle it seemed fine.

Now I have a stable, if somewhat vanilla system... more updates to come on this.

Wireless Soapbox

A new idea/well needed pandering regarding the state of the Canadian wireless industry:

It's by Yak Mobile/Globalive... so there's the recruitment factor but all the same responsiveness to potential customers desires is pretty impressive.

Go Yak I hope.
