Debian on a 17″ PowerBook

Filed under: Free/Open Source Software — Barry Hawkins @ 9:00 pm

Now that things have settled down for me with OS X and Panther is running relatively smooth, I want to try to get Debian up and running on my 17″ PowerBook. I had a really positive experience with Debian on my old Titanium PowerBook, but some hardware changes in the latest PowerBook family have apparently not been fortuitous for Debian (and others). nVidia is apparently not cooperating at all on the video front, which in turn prevents the sleep functionality from working. Big minus.

If anyone knows of some good links for Debian on a 17″ PowerBook, please fill me in. Here are the links I currently have:
