Yes. What I meant about disassembling my 12" was that when you put a CD in the drive, you can remove it without disassembly, I need to plonk down whatever it costs to get a proper Superdrive
.It was difficult getting ethernet working, but its fine now.

Okay, see if you can post the total output when it says "Can't install". If it's due to libraries not being the correct version, that typically happens from time to time when running snapshots, as the operating system and the packages aren't always in sync. If you wait, either the packages or the snapshots will catch up to the other. A release such as 5.7 will not have those issues and is probably better to start with.
Are you able to install other packages?
What do you guys think of a G5 Quad and its possible performance? The reason I ask is because I would like to have the capability of actually syncing with my phone and I cannot do that with my iPhone 4S. Now that being said, I love my "new" iPhone but am considering moving back to my 3GS simply because of the inability to sync properly.
This is why I am VERY interested in the Linux phones available now (even though I can't afford them). Essentially I would like to mirror what I am doing now with my Mac/iPhone with a Linux/Linux setup.

He can easily downgrade his 4S to iOS 6, he just needs to be jailbroken.

Does that tool allow you to downgrade to iOS 6 even if your device never ran that OS?
Yes, I think so. Jailbreak your phone, install OpenSSH, and run the tool. Backup before doing, though. If you want a more manual way of checking, without jailbreaking, using this -> https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/3bfrd5/release_odysseusota_downgrade_iphone4s_or_ipad2/
Just fetch the SHSH blobs, i.e:
#download shsh blobs
./idevicerestore -t *ios 6.1.3 firmware*
Impressive knowledge! My iPhone 5 is dying so I may pick up a 4S if I can get iOS 6 on it.
Further to what I said about an older distro being more up to speed, just look at the crazy performance of Fedora on a G5 from 2007:
556, have you tried openBSD 5.8 on your powerbook? Are there any noteworthy improvements/differences? The web page touts improved mac ppc support.
Technically I haven't, but kind of. I've been running -current for the last year, so I have a pretty good idea of what's in 5.8, but it isn't exactly the same as I don't know what code did not make it into the release.
I believe the improved macppc support was with regards to fixing a bug in Mesa so that 3D acceleration now works with ATI GPUs and improved 64 bit support for G5s, possibly with some SMP improvements as well. I can't test any of these though as I have an NVIDIA equipped G4.
