The New iMac

[Jules Bean]

Hi all,

I'm pondering buying myself a new computer, and the iMac is one of the
choices.  It has considerable advantages for me (easy portability, no
fan), but I certainly don't want something which can't run Linux.

On the other hand, I'm very happy to work on getting Linux to run on it
(once I've got one) - I know my way around C and have some experience
prodding around kernels and booting machine off serial consoles.

Has anyone got any information about how hard it's going to be to get
Linux running on the iMac's, and whether anyone in particular is planning
to work on it?  (I imagine the linuxppc.com people will be keen to, if
it's anything like as successful piece of hardware as the original iMac).

Cheers,

Jules
