I entered the world of Apple hardware about 3 months ago now, with a second-hand iBook2. It was a 500mHz, 256mb, ATI Rage 128 model, with a standard CD-Rom drive. I spent the first few days trying to tweak Mac OS X to my liking, then a few further weeks installing and learning to use the applications I thought I'd need. Chimera, BBEdit, the developer tools, even the Fink X server so I could use Gaim.

Great review, Jon! I've got Yellow Dog 3 on a 600 MHz G3 iMac. It has 1 GB RAM which helps. I have never seen the quality and performance of a Linux distro leap so high from one version to the next. Everything is a million times better than 2.3. Amazing. The iMac too only has a ATI Rage 16 MB card. The performance though. compared to 2.3, is phenomenal.
