I'm a very happy iBook user on Debian testing. I use the fluxbox and
performance is fine for my uses (95% xterms + firefox). However my
screen is giving out and I need another machine. The ability for it to
sleep and wireless support is a major concern. Apart from that I don't
have many other needs (CD optional, firewire/usb support nice to have
but not essential). I'm thinking of picking up a second-hand machine
from Small Dog.
I'd be grateful for some advice for an iBook or powerbook that will meet
my needs and has got good Debian support.
Alternatively I would consider a small and elegantly made (but robust!?)
PC laptop if this seems advisable.
