But we hardly ever get Mac OS X to Linux migration guides do we?<\/p>\n<p>Gave my talk to the Mac user group, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ausom.com.au\/\">AUSOM<\/a> 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&#8217;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 &#8220;eew, Windows Explorer!&#8221;). Yay, yay. Talk uploaded at the usual talks location.<\/p>\n<p>Pity I can&#8217;t drive the Radeon&#8217;s to give me dual-head yet. I tried, but I won&#8217;t give up; just that I needed sleep and to write my talk. I&#8217;m convinced the Radeon Mobility 9200 on the iBook G4 and the Radeon Mobility 7500 on the G3 will work with dual head &#8211; but all I&#8217;m getting is the OFBoot screen.
