You can try maxing RAM (replacing 256 card with 512, cost I guess 10$) and install xubuntu or lubuntu (pay attention for PPC) , and you'll have a decent PC ... but not for video. I won't update HD because it's more then enough to install ubuntu, it will keep about 2-3 GB and it's not easy to replace HD in iBook. probably also airport wifi won't work. angelo -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
