Hi!
|

I've got the Powerbook 17" G4 1.5 Ghz model. I think apple only one with that
|
| 4 |
monitor size and processor speed. I got the Video upgrade to 128 and upgraded
|
| 5 |
the hard drive to 5400 rpm.
|

Crappy. Is there a way to run audio apps safely on a PPC processor using Linux?
|
| 8 |
There must be a way to do this, right? I'm hoping to avoid going old school
|
| 9 |
like I did 4 years ago when I compiled the patches into my redhat 8 kernel on
|
| 10 |
i386. I think it's easier with Gentoo to do that kind of work, but I need to
|
| 11 |
find a good resource for this. Suggestions?
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Anyway, what would you suggest I do to get stable audio on a PPC?
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Thanks!
