it shouldn't matter since it just attaches to an SATA controller. re the PPC
kernel development, I did notice a lot of PPC 64-bit and SMP features marked
as new or experimental when I compile

Hej Jordan,
My experience is from a G5, but everyone with an Apple based computer is
pretty much in the same lurch these days. Most things work fine in

sound to work be harder in Debian than Ubuntu?

Jordan
