what the powerpc
Today I came across a somewhat-new Arch Linux port to POWER (in no way related to the long-gone Arch Linux PPC). In the coming days I'll probably put it on my G4 MDD and run some laps with it. I've tried putting Linux on my powerbook G4, but the trackpad is really buggy (don't know if that has changed since then)
In other news, I got an SSD for my Pismo, but somehow the Firewire is broken or something on it, so I have to transfer everything over USB 1.1. Luckily though there isn't too much data on it... so hopefully it shouldn't take that long.
