2004-12-17 Thread Maximilian Gerlach
Hi Timo, I'm running hoary on my powerbook 12". It's running nice. Somewhen some problems, but you should expect this when running a development version. Nothing really evil though, most of the problems are solved by the next 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. If you don't fear tinkering, you should try it.

Ubuntu hoary experiences anyone?
