I recently bought an iBook 500MHz with 2 usb and firewire interface

Mac OS 9.2 on it. Rather than try to put OS X on it which would have
taken up a major portion of the small hard disk, I put linux on it.
The
Kubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger pre-release. I am slowly coming to the
thought of using it for all my OOo work rather than having work in two
places and syncing it all the time.
Which is a great idea -- I have no idea if Kubuntu will run on a Mac
that old -- I would try an older version before trying the newest --
the cool thing about this particular flavor of linux is that you can
download a "live" version which runs from a CD -- that way you don't
have to wipe out a functional harfd drive to test it.
take a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/
There is a link for the Kubnuntu project on the right side of the
screen -- or try the "regular" Ubuntu download for PPC(http://
www.ubuntu.com/download/). Either way I would try a live version
before installing.

Open Office does run on Macintosh OSX -- I would suggest that you

Have fun
I have a Performa 6320 with a 30 gig HD partitioned three ways.
What's the best quickest way to Linux from scratch so I can run OOo
on it? That'd be a great backup to to my eMac!
