They don't if you want pro graphics and DTP go Mac OS X and a Dual G4
tower not an ibook.  For a User rather an Administator OS X is very nice
but since I use my iBook predominately for administering boxes and
messing about with Linux a apple/linux iBook makes more sense.  As I
said if you want access to both think about Mac on Linux.
