this is no issue for ppc-laptop, at least on my ibook the fan sleep
almost ever... all the heat is dissipated through the bottom surface.
the only noise is the hd spin
btw consider that new apple laptops dont have a card with line input or
so, only a headphone out, and you'll be obligated to buy some sort of
audio usb/firewire device. i've got an imic, but it dont work with jack
for format issues, i dunno what.. maybe bit packaging, and the plug
layer of alsa dont help
and yes, maaaaaaaaany audio tools are still little-endian-only-
compliant
when that'll change? this is UNIX, we can rack-mount tens of sparc
doing massive number crunching ;)
