    Which one should I use?

    I've got a vintage Power Macintosh G3-266, and would like to put it to use. I've tried Mac OS X 10.2.8 (the maximum it's capable of), but available software is pitiful. Someone has suggested Linux, but they haven't told me WHICH Linux, or which version of that Linux.

    Ideas? Suggestions? Experiences?

    Thanks

    You'll need to find a distro that still supports the PPC cpus... I'm running Debian on a G3 Imac w/ 512mb ram for my kids to use... works well.

    I've done some checking, and it seems that the overall favorite is dabian. I'm downloading dabian 506 ISOs right now and gonna see. What the heck? I can't hurt it...
