    There's a review of it here. Looks like they've added support for a lot more Macintosh hardware. Kudos to yellow dog and the PPC linux kernel programmers.

    Thanks!

    Troll alert! Troll alert! This didn't crash my Mac like Comp-U-Geek but this is almost as bad. Goatse-like content too.

    Debian is "the one true Linux" and it runs just fine on my ibook. Anyone who is in the market for an easy to install and use Unix like system on a Mac will most probably go with OS X. I don't see what the selling point of a "Mac only" distribution is these days. Did I mention I thought Debian was great.

  7. The butt is a magical place by theodoliteq · · Score: -1, Troll

    I am a straight 21-year-old female and have been with my boyfriend on and off for two years. He is the sweetest boy in the world and I love him with all my heart. The problem is this: After we have sex he pretends to fall asleep and then finger fucks himself in the ass. I have confronted him about this and he denies it, saying that I am crazy. I am completely traumatized by this entire situation. I have no one else to turn to. Is my boyfriend gay? Should I just ignore this habit of his and focus on all of his other wonderful qualities? I greatly respect your opinion, and I'm afraid I don't know what to do.

    Hope Everything Looks Peachy

    Dear HELP:

    Your boyfriend isn't gay. He's a freak.
    Try to keep up: There's nothing particularly gay about enjoying the feeling of a finger in your ass, nor is there anything particularly freaky about a man fingering himself. What makes your boyfriend a freak is that he fingers himself right next to someone he thinks is asleep, gets caught, and then denies he was doing it. Why would he deny it? Like a lot of straight men who enjoy having their asses played with, your boyfriend probably worries that you'll think he's gay if he tells you the truth -- and guess what? He's right! You do think he's gay.

    Well, it ain't necessarily so, HELP. There are plenty of straight men out there who like having their butts played with, just as there are plenty of gay men who don't like having their butts played with. (I hate the feeling of a finger in my ass, HELP, and guys don't get much gayer than me.) The butt is not a magical place that only gay people can visit, like a leather bar or the Liberace Mu seum. Straight people have butts too, and some straight guys like to play with their butts, and it saddens me that so many of these straight men are reduced to playing with their own butts. Why is that the case? Once again, BECAUSE THEIR GIRLFRIEND WILL THINK THEY'RE GAY IF THEY ASK HER TO FINGER THEM.

    As for your particular boyfriend, HELP, I think any guy who fingers his ass in the same room as his girlfriend -- even if he thinks she's asleep -- really wants to get caught, so ... the next time he rolls over, pretends to fall asleep, and then sticks a finger in his ass, wait until he's really going at it, and then say:

    "You're doing it right now! You've got your finger in your ass! I'm not crazy!"

    When he denies it, you play your trump card:

    "Oh, really? Let me smell your fingers."

    He'll probably burst into tears at this point, which is your cue to say the following: "Look, I don't think you're gay. I love you. If the man I love likes having his ass played with then, with God as my witness, I will play with his ass. But I refuse to lie here next to you while you play with your ass and pretend that I'm asleep. That's too freaky."
