Probably your roommate hadn't applied the OS X update which installed a broken firmware, incompatible with linux.
Current livecds should be compatible:-)

Anonymous coward, In reply to your question:
"What has Daniel (personally) actually done in the last year, that wasn't just copied from another developers work? Honestly, think about it and ask yourself these questions.. he commands with a totalitarian approach, pockets gentoo's funds, and takes credit for everyone else's work"
My (last) answer is:
daniel just founded gentoo games...
What was the name of the last company you, anonymous coward, founded to generate income for an open source initiative - making sure Gentoo Linux has a certain future? If none, for your own sake, stop making a fool out of yourself.

Gerks stage build scripts were initially for ppc only. PPC still uses them. credits to gerk:-)
Why are you complaining about gerks code? It might have been gerks descision to allow daniel to copy the scripts which is allowed by GPL.
afaik ppc was only founded AFTER x86 which already had stage building scripts.
Feel free to discuss anything ppc related with me and Gerk on irc.

So, you had a very large hand in shaping Gentoo, eh? Looking at the gentoo hall of fame ("daniels" way of giving people credit - apparently not enough for you), there might be a few candidates that qualify as 'had a very large hand in shaping gentoo'.
As for the ppc port (I wonder how this ever got on daniels cool list (the way you call it), as he doesn't even own a ppc machine) I can tell you that -since I'm the co-founder and the current team lead- the ppc 1.4 release has been ready for a while and there's nothing I or anyone on the ppc team wrote that is now 'something that drobbins' accomplished.
Bevin wrote sandbox (daniel even gave uwyn credits for that job on the.org page by putting a banner), Gerk was ppc team lead for a while and did a nice job (most of us still use his software daily), achim left a long time ago (even before gentoo was what it's now (bigger;-) ), blizzy left due to a lack of time...
People work(ed) hard on making gentoo what it right now, please stop making them rediculous by posting this bull shit about drobbins.

PPC is ready, just somewhat later. Our release also includes a kde/gnome livecd.

A ppc version of gentoo linux is in the make :-) and will probably be online by the end of the week
