Have several tray-loading and slot-loading (for CD's) iMacs ranging from Classic 233MHz up to DV 400MHz. For the lowest speed iMacs, wish to replace the Debian GNU/Linux PowerPC OS having the XFCE desktop -- sample Debian PowerPC OS iso-download mirror at http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/4.0_r6/powerpc/iso-cd/ -- for Debian PowerPC OS with with the lighter-weight LXDE. Sure, there is a recent Debian testing/lenny daily build LXDE netstall iso for multiple architectures -- such as the desired PowerPC/G3 arch -- at http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/multi-arch/iso-cd/ Just keenly wondering whether any of any of you IT folks reading this have had recent experience with LXDE for G3 iMacs here or know others who have ?? TY for replies and/or other, better, reference links.
