Having built several Linux boxes on slower macs I can atest that linux on a slower mac (uing linuxppc or one of the other variants) is way faster than my terminal window is on my dual 1.25 gig processor G4. Just accessing commands are slower on the new mac. This surprises me as unix is the base for the operating system on Jaguar just as linuxppc was the base for the slower mac.
