Well. I feel a little silly. I posted earlier this week wondering what was wrong with my hard drive. Disk utilities couldn't see the drive. Turns out I needed to, uh, put a driver on the hard drive! Works ok now...
Now I have another question...
I would like to know if I should make the jump to X? Currently I have 8.6 installed, 192 mb ram, 6gb hd,G3/266MT. In anyone's experience, is this too primitive of a system to notice any real benefit from X, or am I better off sticking with 8.6? I have heard X's stability touted as being superior to all other OS's.
It will run on your system but you'll want more memory at the very least. OSX should really be run in a minimum of 256 megs.
You've got the practical bottom end system for running OSX; it'll be slower than 8.6 (especially with only 192 megs of ram) but a lot more stable. Plus it's got all the juicy OSX-iness people crave ;-)
Put a faster processor in that system and a bigger HDD to go with the memory and you'll have a rather nice OS X system.
Of course, you'll not see any improvement until you upgrade your apps for X as well
