Hi to all FVWM:ers!
And to PowerPC Linux users!
So I am not the only one using FVWM on Mac. :)
I suggest you use the CVS version. Debian has package
info on their site on doing .debs.
So you have a PB G4! Well I guess it's slightly faster than my 8500/120... ;)
First thing to do on a G5 is to compile FVWM!
Did you check out Yellow Dog Linux? I got YDL 2.3.
On 32 MB RAM, no extra Video card. :)
Tell us more about Debian and FVWM on a Mac.
