    "MorphOS goes iBook! MorphOS is shown on iBook G4 1.33 Ghz. It will be officially supported with MorphOS 3.2 release. As you can see below the demo iBook already is fully supported (excl. Wifi). This specific model is using an ADB keyboard and an ADB touchpad. Since this system is releated to the Mac mini G4 series, even 3D is already working. The specific iBook versions supported by MorphOS 3.2, will be announced later."

    Damn, you beat me to it! Just visited Geit's page looking for a ghostscript installation script (I'm actually just searching for a postscript viewer), and noticed this news.

    I wonder if there's a new DVD case for MorphOS 3? I already have the MorphOS 2 case, and the genesi Superbundle, so it would be nice to keep up to date with a full set. :-)

    This is fantastic news! More cost-effective hardware support is always welcome. :)

    4.2 eh?

    Great news, I just hope my 1.33Ghz 12" is a supported one.

    Now that's a great news! Although even older than the Mini, an iBook (given it's in a good shape) would make a great low-cost portable MorphOS machine.

    Really looking forward to 3.2 and another big bump on MorphOS registration graph.

    It not even has been >officially< confirmed yet .... :)
    Nevertheless, it is rather likely that MorphOS 3.2 (after the mostly bugfix related release of MorphOS 3.1) will have support for some IBookG4 models ....

    Very good news Pega1

    Ibook g4s can be had very cheaply and are more reliable on the long term than the aluminum g4s.

    As stated earlier, also opens the door for a nice 12in morphos laptop! Sweeet /off Cartman voice.

    Why is that?
