hello rev A powerbook g4 400 here. 2yrs old and going strong! > > 1. Runnable with Linux (of course!) yep thats all i run on it. > 2. Reasonable sound support (recording and playback at least) no recording built in (why /did/ apple do that??) but more recent powerbooks do have the audio in again. Also the older g3 pbooks have audio in + out. i have a vxpocket 2 pcmcia pro sound card - linux drivers are working well for playback but not recording yet. Haven't managed to get jack running with this card yet. > 3. jack and adour should be able to run yep - they work. adour gets a few xuns but i'm hoping i can fix this when i finally get round to building a low latency kernel. > 4. WLAN (either build in or via PC-Card) > airport card well supported under linux AFAIK (don't actually have one) > What notebooks do you use? What are your experiences? > its a really great piece of hardware - well made, looks cool, nice screen, it will never run windows ME ;) There are some issues with endianess in certain audio apps - but these often get fixed by the developers once they know! or maybe you could fix them etc... cheers matthew
