Linux DOES support Airport (802.11b). It does NOT support Airport Extreme (802.11g). Also, BACKUP your data. Even if you do use a partition resizing utility it would be sheer folly to do so without having a FULL backup of all your important data. Besides, even for your day-to-day operations you should have a backup (your computer gets stolen, there's a fire, the HD fails (quite possible... there's a reason most HD warrantees are only 1 year ;-), you get data corruption during an app crash, you delete a major file, etc.) If you have a PB G4 faster than 500 MHz I suspect you'll have an in-built CD burner so... given that blank CDs cost only $0.30 CAD/CD ($0.25 USD; Euro 0.20; ) there's no reason (if you have a CD burner) that you shouldn't back-up your most important data.
