TM, You may also want to try Xubuntu. It's lighter and easier on old hardware. The latest version has a beautiful interface, and worked well in a G3 iBook, with the exception of the original Airport card, which had connectivity problems that may or may not be resolved at this point. A Broadcom-based third party wifi card should work out of the box.
I have tinkered with several Linux distros on different hardware, but I am not computer-literate enough to get much joy from them. That's the Linux catch: if you are not command-line oriented, and don't know how to decode their abstruse lingo, it's not for you. I got tired every time of trying to decipher instructions that seemed written in phonetic Cantonese. Just my two cents.
