iBooks love Linux

Posted by pudge on from the and-so-do-i dept.

Lisa writes "An Apple iBook turns out to be a great choice for running Debian GNU/Linux. Edd Dumbill, the editor of XML.com explains why." This could also be an argument for why to use Mac OS X instead of Linux in the first place, but if you do want to use Linux, then a Mac is a good choice. :-)

  1. Why Linux and not Darwon+X by EccentricAnomaly · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The whole OS X vs. Linux debate aside..

    Why not use Dawin and X instead of Linux? This way you'd have an open source free as in freedom system with full hardware support.

    Am I missing some reason to put Linux on an iBook instead of some Darwin+X configuration?
