iBook G4 and Debian PPC 4

I verified roughly 230 more files (bringing the total to about 10% of the files), and all of the checksums matched exactly. I'm decently certain that all the other files copied fine, and I don't feel like taking the time to check them all, especially when OS X (technically BSD) prints one space between the checksum and file name while Linux prints two spaces between the checksum and the file name (in Mac OSX, it's "md5", and in Linux, it's "md5sum", so it's not that surprising with the differences.

I found that I can turn off the Bluetooth mouse and back on while the system is running without any problems - I actually found this out sometime before I went to sleep, but I had forgotten. I think it's just a fresh-installation glitch that's fixed after a reboot, so now I can just treat the mouse like I usually do.

What's very nice is the on-screen keyboard that I installed (Taiga's original keyboard became unusable, since it would either print partial gibberish or not respond at all), so now I don't need to manually plug in a keyboard when I actually need to type something into the computer (albeit a virtual keyboard is much slower to type with).

I've confirmed that sound works just fine on Sae-chan by partially playing a song from my music library. I've also confirmed that the LCD removes the image from the screen when the screen is shut off (I used my phone's flash to put light into the screen), so the abnormal picture fade that Taiga exhibits with Debian is some sort of driver glitch (which I don't care to fix).

Taiga also seems to handle multiple tabs in Iceweasel a lot better than in TenFourFox (OS X), which is nice when I actually need it, since I don't have to be on-edge about how many tabs I have open.

I think that's honestly everything - I can't think of anything else to write about.

Things I've learned:

• The 8GB CF card is useless for test installations
• The 30GB IDE disk is best for test installations
• The Mac OS X FTP service is most likely crap (I'm not willing to spend time to test this)
• Reading files from an external HFS+ volume is most reliable with Mac OS X
• Use md5 -r in Mac OS X terminal to print a Linux-style file checksum line (though I probably won't ever generate checksums in Mac OS X again)
• My appreciation for Mac OS X has really depreciated (due to past and current events)
