I got a iMac slot-loading 350 G3 "Blue berry" this past Friday from
Ebay.
Has OS9.2 but is damn slow.
It only has 64mb of RAM.
Can I use OSX on it without upgrading RAM?
Also will Ubuntu work well instead?
OS X requires 128 MB RAM, and on an old iMac like that, you might
need at least 256 MB RAM if not more for it to run well.
not having tried ubuntu specifically, i cant say if it would work
well, but linux in general is faster than using a something like OS
X, which has a GUI.
