[snipped] This is perfectly correct, but it applies ONLY to those laptops supplied by Apple who have an Intel chip in them. It DOES NOT apply to those laptops which are PowerPC (PPC) based, such as the iBook. There is not a version of gOS for ANY PPC-based Macs. I think there is a real need for Ubuntu-based distros to support PPC based machines: they are often very powerful and being disposed by corporations in favour of later (Intel + PPC) machines at very low cost. I think the Ubuntu family decided to no longer support PPC in the 6.10 release, so if gOS is to support PPC based machines, it'll be be doing so by itself. You can, of course, still get a Debian version for the PPC, but it would be far more satisfactory for the older desktop hardware if there would be a version of Linux that has the web based applications available out of the box. A version of gOS based on Debian for the PPC would fill the bill nicely.
