I must confess that I love the trackpad and *hate* the IBM "stick". But, my favourite input device is the 11 button TurboMouse :). As to MOL -- on my deminutive PowerBook G3/400 Pismo with 512 MB of RAM I am extremely impressed by MOL 0.9.70 (I think that's the version). There are a few quirks but it is a near perfect solution on a fast enough machine (Aqua doesn't use hardware acceleration, sound doesn't work in MOL, I get an unusal error at login (can't login... please report to your admin... after which it promptly logs in), menu updates in Mac OS X MOL 10.3.8 aren't always perfect)). On my machine I have to say it's extremely stable, and, quite usable. I'm running Ubuntu so things may be slightly different in Debian-land. YMMV. Surprise... YDL has a very up-to-date kernel vs. Ubuntu Hoary (2.6.9-1 vs 2.6.10-4).
