Thanks Brian and Rogerio for the replies. I finally decided to remove the macos x (which is a nice OS, but... most programs for this OS are not for free, like any gnu/linux distro like Debian :P) I did it yesterday and everything worked like a charm, except for sound but i did modprobe snd-powermac, wrote it down on /etc/modprobe.conf and rebooted. that was all. I just had a little problem, when it did a "aptitude dist-upgrade" the aptitude removed most of the gnome programs :|, anyway im reinstalling it from the cd, so i have no problems so far.
