Well, I didn't ex­act­ly switch. Just fi­nal­ly bought an iBook to use on the road while still us­ing De­bian GNU/Lin­ux at home, Mi­crosoft Win­dows 2003 serv­er at work, and BSD roam­ing. I or­dered the least im­pres­sive 12" ver­sion, but just af­ter that the specs were changed and about a month lat­er I re­cieved the 1.33GHz/512MB ver­sion. Which seems quite ad­e­quate for lis­ten­ing to sound­i­cra­dio.com in iTunes.

Next steps are to con­fig­ure the whole thing to hook up to al the oth­er stuff, wire­less when avail­able. Cur­rent­ly I can ssh into it, iSync with my P800, browse SMB shares and lis­ten to it through the NAD 310. To­mor­row I'll try to add it to the WiFi.
