iboog G4

  • 768 MB,
  • 80GB HDD,
  • Bluetooth,
  • AirportExtreme,
  • Modem,
  • Radeon graphics

Runs largely problem free under Ubuntu Linux 5.10. Airport extreme is unsupported, but a driver is currently in development. The modem is unsupported AFAIK (but I never looked very hard). Bluetooth, networking, 3D works all fine.

Some oddity - looses date when battery is completely discharged.

Update - Airport Extreme works fine with newest kernels. Battery loosing date can be remedied by flushing the nvram - not sure what this is about.
