Works great for me - I use both an IBM I series laptop and a
Powerbook. Redhat 7 supports everything out of the box including sound,
pcmcia, apm, usb, etc. (on the IBM). LinuxPPC works well on the PowerBook
and wasn't too bad to install - the only tough part is the X
server. Also, as far as I know no full duplex for the Mac sound hardware.
