Hi guys, i'm brand new on this forum but i hope to help with my experience, just this here i bought form USA (i'm italian) a wonderful apple clamshell g3 with mac os installed, i just deleted it and i tried different distros (SUSE, SLACKINTOSH, YELLOW DOG, UBUNTU). I can say the most two valuable are SUSE and UBUNTU, i prefered the last one, also missing the wifi led, i preferred to install xfce desktop (it has the wonderful mac theme) because my laptop is just a 366mhz, but it works good! Now i looked around and i find (with google) that is possible to run x86 apps through qemu, on suse.org you will find a topic (http://en.opensuse.org/PowerPC_x86_Emulator) where they explain how to make an x86 emulator for ppc i didn't try it yet but it looks a good start! :D CIAO
