First i don't own an iBook anymore, it broke a couple of weeks after the end of warrenty, so here only some of my old config files.
Where to find Information
A very good source for current information about the linux support of Apple laptops is the Debian PowerPC mailinglist. It can be found here:

Filesystem
A few word on filesystems...
- Reiserfs is known not to be very stable of this platform, and the 3.x tree has problems with fsck.
- My favorite is XFS, it simple works and is really hard to kill, even on a laptop with laptopmode enabled it recovers very fast and reliable
