Yeah, but that's _GNOME_.  If you want a G3 Mac to really sing, use
Xubuntu (xfce4 desktop).  Also, take a little responsibility and decide
for yourself what to start, and what not to.

Well, until the spontaneous freeze-ups start, and such.  (My two iBooks 
are much more stable with Linux -- and it's nice to have a real
filesystem back.)  What you probably really mean is:  OS X has a slick,
integrated set of proprietary apps with a carefully similar look and
feel.  (Your HIG consistency, my monotony.  ;->  )
