Hi All, I'm new to this group. During high school, I messed around
with Linux quite a bit - had Red Hat installed on this really cheap
desktop in my bedroom, tried to learn perl, etc but then decided I'd
rather study chemistry - and I switched to mac when OS X came out.
Really attracted to that darwin terminal prompt. Well, I work in a
department at my university, and recently apprehended an iBook G3 that
had both Mac OS X and OS 9.2 installed. It was destined for the trash,
but I've taken it, deleted OS X (it was 10.2, and it ran really
sloppily). And am using it mostly for word processing.

I want to install Linux on it - but I haven't really messed with it in
9 or so years. What's a good version for installing on one of these
older iBooks? (don't remember processing speed at the moment, but it's
got a 10 GB HDD, 128 MB RAM, etc).

And then, should I go GNOME or KDE? What would be a better desktop for
this old of a machine. I don't want something that's going to slow it
down.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Chad
