[PD] call for testing on the nightly builds!

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I forgot to mention, on my old G4 800 PowerBook, everything ran much  
faster and smoother running Debian than running Mac OS X.  It was  
really a big difference between the two.  I recommend trying Ubuntu  
or Debian on your old G4.  Pd runs better on GNU/Linux anyhow.
