There's been a lot of development recently for HFS+ support, and now Benjamin Herrenschmidt's kernel tree has support for HFS+ filesystems, though it's said that write support may break your HFS+ journal. It certainly can read from the fs though. >There seem to be some issues with Debian's power management.

The standard fix is to shut down X11 and restart it. I'm running 2.4.22-ben1 on my tibook IV and the power management and LCD support is great, I've not seen any of these problems. I've also just gotten the DVI out working brilliantly (though not perfect) just in time for my presentation tomorrow night. There's a massive userbase on the debian-powerpc mailing list, and though there's certainly a few YDL and other ppc distro users on there, the core powermac kernel developer and the powermac radeon X hacker are Debian users, which may sway your decision ;-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
