i had OSX
but some application that i'm doing for Comp Sci require Linux
so i'm thinking of using iBook
(i know Python is built-in Panther, but i prefer Linux, because that's what professors use for marking the assignments)
any guide? tutorial? link?
thanks in advance

I'm Computer Science too, and I use Mac OS X for almost everything. I'm in this Motorola 680000 Assembly class right now, and the assembler/simulator we're using only runs in DOS. I'm using dosemu on my Gentoo Linux box for that part. It's working very well. Why do you have to use Linux?
Also, if you want help on Debian I'd check their IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. Pretty much any opensource project you can think of has a channel on Freenode. Try #debian, they might even have #debianppc (I know Gentoo has separate channels for the various Gentoo-related topics), but I'm on a crappy old OS 9 computer right now and it'd be too much trouble to find an IRC client.

i did that 680000 assembly last year
i'm doing Operating System now..
and some Python codes.. require Linux machine in particular
i guess the mem management is different for both

Fair enough. I'd say that your best bet is to check out the IRC channel.
So how'd Motorola 68000 treat you? What assembler did you work with?

Chances are that you'll have to hose your OS X first before you can install a dual-boot. If you want DebianPPC (which IMO is the most active/supported), then there's many tutorials on the web for this. Here's one for a Mini, but should work for any Mac:

You also may want to try Ubuntu Linux:
