-iMac G4/G5 with 20" LCD screens - you will see a 1/4" screen roll from Right to Left. This is uniques to Ubuntu.

 MacMini - Will boot to a blank screen after installation when using DVI monitor connection. Works fine with  VGA monitor connection. Have fixed this in the past by installing from a live CD and passing video parameters with installation command.
 . Bundles to send to store - external speakers with iLamps, LCD displays with PowerMac G4/G5s.
