And I think the sudo way of doing system things is strange, but no more so than OS X’s.
I didn’t yet look into specifics of Java and/or Flash support with PPC, though. Mounts, Sleep, Battery Handling, Powerbook buttons. GStreamer stuff looks broken, Xine is dropping frames, and mplayer seems to come off the binary source I found only in G4-flavour.Ĥ.) Having no network connected slows the boot.ĥ.) Anjuta 1 didn’t get along with the supplied autotools out of the box. I figured out that it had a switch in GConf, but was somewhat disturbed they didn’t make it a regular preference.ģ.) Video is too slow on G3/400. One-liner-change somewhere in /etc that took a while to figure out.Ģ.) Odd spatial behaviour. My little personal minor-issue-list:ġ.) Ubuntu expects the chip clock to be UTC. Ubuntu went onto a Pismo Powerbook without any trouble and works like a charm. Mostly positive experience to report from the PowerPC side. It’s no wonder there are so many negative comments in the Ubunto bugzilla. By using that you avoid the current nervous dancing windows behavior that basically is navigational mode without the possibility to navigate. This is why the standard Gnome way is to be preffered especially as newbies have a tendency not to create deep structures, and if they do there is navigational mode. You also have the problem with consistensy, if it looks like Gnome, users will expect it to work like Gnome. If they don’t figurre out how to do this they will have troube doing things like copying files. Sure you can emulate them by clicking both buttons or you hold down the shift key but neither is something a newbie would figure out. The problem is that many people, doesn’t have a middle button. I think it sounds pretty good, personally I’m going to probably stick with the normal windows-like mode (whatever it’s called, non-spatial?) but it doesn’t sound too bad, double middle clicking and you can keep the current folder open, sounds great.
