I had an ibook for three years. It is basically BSD - so no need even for dual boot. All open source software including open office ran on it. I never used all the fancy mac stuff on it so cannot comment. They have something called (I think) parallels which one can run any number of OSs at the same time. Fortunately for me, it got broken accidently so I was able to get back to the wonderful world of linux. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
