My iBook G4 is runnig 2.6 and I am (almost) absolutely happy with |
| 12 |
it. Most important is that it is put to sleep (almost) properly. |

|

To reduce the heat just emerge speedfreq and pbbuttonsd and |
| 15 |
configure pbbuttons properly to use dynamic pcu frequency scaling |
| 16 |
also when on AC. So the iBook will run at 599Mhz when it is idle. |
| 17 |
I even noticed that my iBook obviously has a fan, that never |
| 18 |
started in OSX but starts rotating heavily e.g. when I start |
| 19 |
compiling. |

If you experience great difficulties configuring your system the |
| 22 |
way I described, just contact me, I can share my configs to you or |
| 23 |
to the list, but right now I got to do some studying. |
