I recently unearthed two Macintosh Powerbook G3s from deep in my house. At one point about 6 months ago one of them worked while the other kinda worked. They're 250 Mhz or so and 32 MB's of onboard RAM. Of course, my first thought when I found them was "Linux!". Because of their uber-low specs I wonder which distro would be suited to run on these machines. I'm open to suggestions and really don't care if I can run X or not. Bash, Irssi, Screen, Links, Nano/Vim, Perl and GCC are all I really need. I'm also missing the charger/ac power adapter, anyone know where I can get one for cheap? (The kind with a circular deal with the mac logo, and then the cable-- The old G3 type). Some mac sites wanted me to fork up 50 dollars, which is probably more than the laptops are worth now. If I make it to the installfest I'll bring it. I also managed to get the MechInstaller files onto my Xbox and ordered a copy of MechAssault (Original) which should arrive this week, meaning I'd be all set for an Xbox-Linux install. After that I'm thinking Xebian. -- Samuel (shardz) Shardz's Igloo: shardz.homelinux.net Registered Linux User #410639 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/E/G d- s a---- C++(+++)>$ UBL+++>++++$ P++>++++$ L++>++++$ E---- W++ N o?
