See http://laroza77.blogspot.com for my iBook setup :-)

That is just the used iBook I got for a very low price, and I couldn't stand OS X 10.1.

I was thinking about trying to bid on an older apple notebook but they are pricey on eh4y. I thought I would have more trouble with a 700mhz PIII running a web browser but webkit is fast. Even konqueror isn't too bad with it's metric ton of features. So far the only downside has been getting a wireless usb interface that doesn't work so far under linux.

P.S. I can't blame ya for this...

Yes, Mac OS X is a *nix OS (I think it's a based on FreeBSD... but don't quote me on that)

Only if you actually use it as such. A Unix which never had ls -l typed on its teminal is no Unix :wink:

But yeah, Mac OS X uses a FreeBSD based kernel called Darwin.
