Upgrading 4.0.1

[Andrew Mason]

Hi Jeff,
Just wondering what your motivation for running Linux was in the first place?

Unless your on an older machine (which wont run OSX), or most of the 
applications you run are X11 or you want a non-proprietary system, then Linux 
on a PPC system may not be the ideal thing for you. On an X86 machine of 
course there are a whole load more incentives :)

Also, if you are keen to try experimenting with linux (As i think alot of your 
problems may be quickly solved when you have more experience) but don't want 
to mess with your HD, why not try something like Ubuntu PPC's Live CD. Which 
is a full Linux system running straight from your CD. This may give you a 
less frustrating look at Linux (LinuxPPC isn't quite as friendly as x86 
unfortunately). Once you have a good idea of how things work you may find 
that you like the control that Linux gives you, however until you can access 
it, you can't enjoy it. Just a thought

Andrew.
