[linux-audio-user] Using open source audio software on an iBook 2gen (2001). What's the best solution?

I mean, if I install a PPC gnu/Linux (I was thinking about Slackintosh
because I really love Slackware) I'll be able to use all the hardware I
can already use on my x86 box (expecially my Edirol UA-25)?
Or it's better to compile the software I need (jack, ardour,
zynaddsubfx) on MacOS X and buy a shiny new pc laptop when I'll have the
money (It will take a long time :-) )?
Does someone has experience with this?
Thanks in advance,

Have you looked into Fink? I even had Evolution
working on my Mac, when I had one:

If it's gonna take a long time, might as well wait for the x86
iBooks to show up. That's what I'm doing (my Dell laptop is
about a year younger than your iBook.)

I also love slackware (on intel computers), but in my experience with a
mac computer (now i have a "mac mini") the best solution was ubuntu
and gentoo (actualy run gentoo-ppc).

but "MacOS X" isnt linux :)

p.s. Lazzaro, alzati e cammina! Perdonami, non ho resistito. Ma so che
con il mio nome potrai vendicarti. :-)

I use Debian Testing on Mac G3 Blue and White with no
problems.

I suppose that if the hardware can plug into the iBook there's a good
chance it will work. I have an iBook G4 which I dual-boot (Debian) and
it is able to talk to my midi controller (USB) just fine. In general, I
think you'll find hardware support to be basically equivalent.

If the hardware works in OS X, and in Linux on x86, then it would
definitely surprise me if it didn't work in linux on your iBook.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
