The Broadcom driver installation just needs your confirmation and wireless works out of box. The only thing that does not work right now is hibernate (@see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/25896). A nice use for an old machine. It was damn impossible to find new applications for Mac OS x 10.3 without upgrade and I personally feel apple's lock-in is too much. I am happy with Linux.

Right after the installation the airport card didn't work, but as soon as I plugged in an ethernet cable the automatic updating system found a driver, downloaded and installed it and within seconds I could connect to my home wifi lan. The only problem I have with this configuration is that the ubuntu splash is effed up in the colors... I guess that could be solved!

Ten pages of notes, more ideas than I know how to deal with right now, and the opportunity to network with tons of potential clients and/or partners, made this a hundred times more beneficial then... say... a HOW or Step conference (just don't tell HOW or Step I said that!) -- and I only had to drive 20 minutes to get there! I am looking forward to the next event, and with the type of exposure I saw sponsor companies receiving at this conference, I may be coming back with my company as a sponsor too (or even possibly as speaker!) Great job to all those involved in setting this up. It was worth far more than the price of admission! Cheers, Kyle Just got back from the first DC Talk Conference — simply awesome!
