[ale] Linux on an Apple iBook

[tfreeman at intel.digichem.net]

I dual booted an iBook (much slower) before OS X came out, using Yellow 
Dog Linux. Except for trying to get my tiny mind wrapped around the boot 
procedure, and a couple of maturity issues (sound for one), it ran well, 
and presented no headaches. Ditto with SuSe, although the boot process for 
SuSe was different than Yellow Dog.

Since putting OS X 10.2 on that machine, I haven't messed with Linux on 
Mac as it has been just much easier to boot OS X and be done with it. As 
such, I'd be curious about your more recent experiences.
