Yeah, Linux is the closest to OSX most Comets will probably get. OSX is superior (IMAO) to all the Linux distros I've used except for RAM usage and speed (mostly graphics speed). More secure, better multitasking, nicer interface. High base RAM needed though (256MB works well), and the RAGE 128 (PCI) in this has trouble keeping up with drags sometimes. OSX really needs a G4 to be happy (YMMV) whereas LinuxPPC works nicely on a 120MHz 604. Peace Aqua
