Hello,

I have been playing with the idea of having Ubuntu on my old iBook G3 for a while. Since I use Ubuntu 8.10 on my desktop (and absolutely love it) I do like the idea of having it on my laptop also.

My iBook is a 700MHz PowerPC G3 / 640MB Ram 20GBHDD

Has anyone had any success with this generation of iBook? Will it run any faster with Ubuntu compared to OSX 10.4.11? I was hoping it would run better with Ubuntu but is this wishful thinking? :confused:

Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Rich

You can give a try with the Live-CD and see if you like it (of course a LiveCD is slower)

That is a possibility.
