[QUOTE="35g700, post: 1133885, member: 171478"] I've got an old iBook G3 (600MHz, 384MB RAM) with 10.4 Tiger installed. It works however it is quite slow and it is very usable. The thing holding it back is that 10.4 Tiger is 5 years old and PPC applications are slowly starting to go away. Bottom line is you can use an old iBook G3 today however things will be very slow. If I were to have to use my iBook G3 for some reason I would probably try to install either xubuntu 9.10 or kubuntu 10.10 because they are much more modern than 10.4 Tiger and they both run great on old hardware. Keep in mind if it's an iBook G4 it will run A LOT faster than an iBook G3. [/QUOTE]
