Any suggestions for the G3?
How about one of the PPC Linuxes? I run Ubuntu on mine. I needs a bit of subterfuge to get it installed (the
installation/boot disk is meant for New World Macs),
but once it's on there, it runs really well. I used
BootX to get the installation CD to run:

Darnit, I must get a photo of the machine on that page...
Nearest I can tell, putting anything on these boxes
means you *still* need to have a MacOS partition to
boot first?
I'd prefer *not* to have to put a monitor/keyboard on
the machine...
OTOH, I think I have A/UX sitting in my archive (but that;s
only 68K... :< )
