If I recall, I thought you looked into Arch once but found that it
wouldn't run on a PowerPC platform I know the standard architectures
are i386 (32-bit) and x86_64 (64-bit). So you might not be able to
try that distro out on that machine.
The most tangible notes I can give you right now would be on the PLUG
website for this Thursday's east side meeting. There is a brief
overview of what I plan to cover; I haven't done any other notes yet.
I'm just finished up going through nearly 400 messages this evening to
catch up with the PLUG e-mail. I got a little lax about following
this list lately. I use gmail's filters to force different e-mail
lists into their own labels and that then ends up in separate IMAP
folders when reading with mutt or thunderbird.
Like I said earlier, what notes I use will be for my items to cover
but you might be more familier with other tools or techniques so you
probably shouldn't lock in too closely to what I have. That way,
there will be unique approaches to how each of us address these
issues.
