My iBook G4 is runnig 2.6 and I am (almost) absolutely happy with it. Most important is that it is put to sleep (almost) properly. To reduce the heat just emerge speedfreq and pbbuttonsd and configure pbbuttons properly to use dynamic pcu frequency scaling also when on AC. So the iBook will run at 599Mhz when it is idle. I even noticed that my iBook obviously has a fan, that never started in OSX but starts rotating heavily e.g. when I start compiling. > If you experience great difficulties configuring your system the way I described, just contact me, I can share my configs to you or to the list, but right now I got to do some studying. :wq -- [email protected] mailing list
