Terribly sorry I missed the last one. It's been a sod of a week which 
I'm glad is now over. While I nurse a shoulder injury, I'm working 
towards getting 3D support going on my iBook; I got the sound working, 
that was a simple case of plugging in an iMic pod, as it seems (from 
booting Knoppix) that the onboard sound chip is toast. My next trick is 
going to be getting an HSDPA dongle running on it... well-wishing or 
advice on this welcome. Hardware is: iBook G4 1.33GHz, 1.2GB RAM, ATI 
Radeon 9x00 GPU, running OpenSuSE 10.3/ppc. I may switch to 
Knoppix/Debian ppc (downloading the ISOs right now) depending on how 
fiddly they are. Might even go for a dual boot option and eventually 
drop the one which doesn't work.
