Davide, You should consider a dual install. The best part is that with Mac-On-Linux, you can access Macintosh programs from within Linux, and it runs basically at native speeds (actually, it almost seems faster to me). This is useful for those few non-Linux apps (Flash, Quicktime, games) which aren't readily available for PPC Linux. Let us know (maybe off list) about your PPC Linux experiences. I've got a Powerbook G3 running Yellow Dog and it works like a charm, only I do miss Flash access from time to time. Anyway, sorry for continuing the off topic thread.
