Is the iBook2 really a good choice as an inexpensive Debian notebook? What are the bad parts of it? Can I just recompile x86 apps? E.g. I would like to run Ximian Gnome but they only have debs for Potato/x86. I have heard very different opinions on the G3 500 ranging from people saying it's as good as a P3 800 to opinions saying it's no better than a Celeron 300. I usually use Ximian Gnome and Mozilla and Gnumeric etc. Is the G3 500 strong enough for those apps? BTW I sometimes like to play games. Can I play Unreal Tournament comfortably or is the G3 500 too slow? Is there any x86 notebook you could recommend instead?
