Dist-hopping experimentation time!

[Technomage Hawke]

I am thinking of giving that one a try out on the powerbook.
btw, I have A version of Vinux (version 3.1 PPC) running on there now from a vinux build script meant for 3.0 (ubuntu 10.04 based). 

I had to modify the scripts to update to maverick meerkat and some packages are clearly not available for the PPC platform (such as chromium-browser).

hey steve, did you have a set presentation outline for your accessibility presentation at the east side plug meeting? if co, can I borrow some of it?
