I've been swimming upstream my whole life and I don't intend to stop |
2 |
now. The iBook is my first Mac and has been quite an adventure, despite |
3 |
eight years of Linux experience and two years with gentoo. But it's all |
4 |
running smoothly now and the iBook is a sweet little machine. |

A few of my ebuilds have made it into the main portage tree and you can |
7 |
be sure that they will contain ~ppc from now on if they are feasible. If |
8 |
there is anything I can do to help, let me know. |
