I installed Ubuntu warty on my ibook but there is a problem with
Firefox. It is very slow to load web pages (typically 5-15sec). tcpdump
shows a lot of reverse dns lookups occurring. It appears to be this bug
in firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=239358
I want Firefox 1.0 to try and fix this but I don't know how to get a PPC
package for it.

PS: great job developers, this was the easiest linux install I've done
