Is this a G3 or G4 iBook? Mostly I'm curious because I may repurpose my
iBook G4, which currently dual-boots Slackintosh and OS X (but is mostly
in OS X) to a mostly Slackintosh machine. It'd be nice not to have to
worry about waiting for 13.x to have everything working fairly smoothly.

Unlike the new MacBooks, these are still replaceable. If you're going
to use it for any length of time, you can get a new one for ~$100 US. I
bought this one:

The 5000mAh is really nice. :)

If it's just on the wired ethernet, just make the needed modifications
to /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf. Look at the section marked "config for
eth0". Don't forget to modify GATEWAY too, which is IIRC below the
eth3 config section.
