[QUOTE="Earthworm Jim, post: 404282, member: 31708"] They're actual apple CDs, as far as I can tell. They're branded & don't look like CD-Rs. I'm not sure why they don't want to boot when the linux cd's will. But, that's OK. I had an extra 512MB of PC-133 sitting around, so it's got plenty of memory. It's slow, but it will work fine for my kids. Browsing & writing up homework shouldn't be a problem - if I can ever figure out how to get my CUPS server to let it print :D Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
