I am half-heartedly going through my PowerBook, preparing it to be Linux-ized. Not because it really needs to be; I just feel like having a project to work on. I’ve never had a computer that both functioned and wasn’t being used regularly. There is nothing Linux will do for it that it can’t do already. Just to see if I can make it work. And it’s helping divert my new phone desire. Now that the GooglePhone is in Canada I’m having to stave off envious thoughts. It has a keyboard, which I find I miss from my old Treo.
What Distro? As a recent Linux convert I have to recommend Ubuntu!
Yeah, I’ve downloaded Jaunty Jackalope or whatever it’s called. I still have to burn the .iso and repartition the Powerbook’s hard drive.
Hassie, is Linux better than your MacBook for anything? Because I just like the complete pointlessness of this whole enterprise. Although I suppose I hear Amarok is a pretty great music player. But really, is there any reason for me to be doing this beyond the fact that I can?
