Like I did. I _love_ my PowerBook. :)
and there'd be much less support to be doing, I'd bet. Plus, I could still set up an SSH server fairly easily I would think.
Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> Services tab, check "Remote Login." If you're running the built-in firewall, it'll automatically open the ssh port in the firewall, too.
2) I loathe commercialistic consumer product tie-in (as most people do, of course). When you download QuickTime for Windows, they push iTunes, and guide you into using the iTunes enabled QuickTime. Do they do the same with Mac OS users? How commercialistic is the Mac OS? (I've heard Mandrake is similar.) And what the f*** is "iLife"??? Is it for people who don't have "realLife"?
Regarding QuickTime, the only thing it asks is if you'd like to upgrade to QuickTime Pro, every once in a while. I haven't had any of Apple's apps bug me to use another one of Apple's apps instead.
iLife is the name given to the applications formerly bundled with OS X, currently bundled with new systems, and available in a single box for $79. See Apple's site, specifically http://www.apple.com/ilife/ for the full deal.
b) The last time I used the Mac OS they called it "System 7". However much less support there'd be with the Mac OS, it's likely I wouldn't know how to help with whatever little help he needed.
If it's a system configuration issue, you can take care of some of them from the unix shell. There's a VNC server for OS X that'll let you control the system remotely just like VNC on a windows system: http://www.redstonesoftware.com/vnc.html
