Migration help

[Kopachris]

I'm currently embarking on a project to completely migrate to my Ubuntu Desktop machine, meaning that I need to transfer all of my documents, pictures, music, etc. (easy) and install Ubuntu Server on my Al PowerBook G4 (uh oh). The problem lies in the internet connection: my desktop machine is currently only connected to the internet through the PowerBook's sharing of its Airport Extreme connection over ethernet (Router > airport > PB > eth0 > Desktop). The main thing I need to know is how to enable my PowerBook's Airport Extreme (BCM4306 I think?) card without internet (I can download drivers, etc. beforehand if necessary). After that, setting things up to share the internet to the Desktop should be a snap. Also, I know 8.10 desktop was a pain to boot and PPC isn't really supported anymore, so some help with that would be greatly appreciated.

If this is too much to ask from Ubuntu, a guide to setting up Arch as a LAMP+FTP server on a PPC PowerBook G4 with Airport support would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, I did a LOT more Google searching, and I think I found out that the b43 driver supports my Airport Express card (firmware Rev. 3) and is included in the kernel as of 2.6.24 (can anyone confirm)? So, I've decided that I'll try Arch PPC instead of Ubuntu because it seems better maintained and documented (at least for PPC).

First, though, I need to migrate all my stuff—which will hopefully involve the successful writing of a Python script to convert my iTunes xml playlists to m3u format.:popcorn:
