Slight typo.  I found the page under

Woo hoo, indeed.  If they really deliver, I might give up multibooting
OS X and PPC Linux, and go OS X full time.  I was using mostly Linux
because Sawfish multiple workspaces + xterm under X11 is much more
powerful for the kind of stuff I do.

I'll have to see how this works when I get my "new" 700 MHz iBook.
I specifically got an old model because the Radeon Mobility 7500
doesn't sleep properly under Linux, and a laptop that can't sleep
is pretty lame...
