There are plenty of migration guides that serve for Windows users wanting to move to Linux. I think there might even be one from our favourite company in Redmond, written for UNIX users migrating to Windows. But we hardly ever get Mac OS X to Linux migration guides do we?
Gave my talk to the Mac user group, AUSOM about running Linux on beloved Mac hardware! Yay to Linux PPC. Surprisingly filled with interest about open source, and the fact that Apple too make use of a lot of underlying OSS tools, made a few heads turn. A lot look like they’re going to try out Fedora Core 2, and some have interests in Linux-based GIS applications too. GNOME looks like a clear winner as well (2.6; I had the 2.4 on the Debian unstable laptop and they were like “eew, Windows Explorer!”). Yay, yay. Talk uploaded at the usual talks location.
Pity I can’t drive the Radeon’s to give me dual-head yet. I tried, but I won’t give up; just that I needed sleep and to write my talk. I’m convinced the Radeon Mobility 9200 on the iBook G4 and the Radeon Mobility 7500 on the G3 will work with dual head – but all I’m getting is the OFBoot screen. Sigh
