I am using a Powerbook G3 500 and a G4 1.25 both with gentoo. They are 
simply great, quiet, cool, powerful (at least the G4 one) machines :-)

The new AlBooks DO have mic-in and line-in again!
Stay away from nvidia on any non-x86 platform, you will never get a decent 
driver for those graphics-boards, whereas ATI-drivers at least offer good 
2D-performance on newer chips and eventually will offer full 
OpenGL-support. (read: ATI is more helpful than nvidia, though their 
support of the dri-project lags a bit behind their 
x86-binary-only-drivers)

Have fun*
