    Pretty easy. Kinda pointless imo. I have a nice IBM box hosted with linux on it, as well as a pretty decent desktop which dual boots win2k/debian. I did dual boot debian/macosx for a while but I ended up spending all my time in OS X anyway.

    Here are the instructions I used: Branden's Guide to Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 onto an Apple iBook

    A thing is translucent when it merely admits the passage of light, without enabling us to distinguish the outline of objects through it; it is transparent when we can clearly discern objects placed on the other side of it. Glass, water, etc., are transparent; ground glass is translucent.

    This case is transparent, not translucent. Details can be seen through it; the light is not diffused.
