*Have* a G3 Powerbook...

[adz]

One of the guys at work still uses an old G3 350 iBook with 384MB RAM, running OS 10.3 it seems quite pleasant to use.

edit...Sorry, make that 320MB RAM, either way, its still quite pleasant to use.

Is OS X very tweakable in the sense that graphical hoohaa can be turned off to make is speedier/less hungry for memory?

You best wait for Karlos to respond to that one :lol:

On another note...how crap is OS 9.x exactly?

Very!!!

I installed MacOS 9 over the weekend on my PowerWave. It seemed pretty useable, but amazingly similar to Windows

I'm trying to install Fedora Core 4 PPC on it at the moment

I would def consider a nice more generic PPC OS, rather than Mac OS. There are 15 linux distros available for PPC (according to linux.org), including SuSE, YDL, Mandrake, Gentoo, Debian... they should run nicely on a G3

Funny you should mention Linux, on the above G3 iBook, we tried both Debian and Ubuntu on it and OS X performed better than them both, just a thought.

So basically this laptop does what I want it to do (web, MP3s,  documents) and it has the added bonus of playing around with Macs.

So you'll be using OS X then :banana: :banana: :banana:
