Jruschme is right on the money. Xorg issues are out of our (MintPPC's) hands. Debian has been doing a lot of messing around upstream with this as of late. In the past several weeks we've had several machines come online and go offline in this regard. @Mr. Ksoft Try MintPPC 9.3. A Pismo is JD's...

Very Neat Conquest! I would love to find the High Power one in a 17 or 20 myself.

MintPPC even in "RAM Heavy Mode" only needs 128 MB. ;)

Lubuntu has just released a live cd for ppc. There is also MintPPC, a debian derivative with a custom PPC port of The Linux Mint DE. http://www.mintppc.org/ I would guess that most of your sluggishness under 10.4 is from 384MB RAM more than anything else.

Is this replicated when changing to a different color depth?

Yah, I really like Opera too. So far, v9 seems very fast (even on my G3 300) and even runs on 10.2/10.3 . I haven't tried 10 on any PPC systems yet.

In my B&W I've had a G3 400 & a G4 450, soon to be a G3 500. The G4 shines with X or Altivec Applications. If you use neither of these, the G3 will be fine ...unless you want to do super floating point heavy sciencey stuff with it.

Dual CPUs make a world of difference at the lower clock speeds.

If X works fine then your hardware is [likely] fine. What Distro are your trying and how are you burning the disk?

Oddly enough, I've yet to ever use a FireWire device. I'm thinking of getting a FW400 PC Card for my WS though. btw- Are there any FW PC cards that the WS would boot from?

That is very 8-) I really hope the changes make it into the main tree and we can use it on PPC OS X as well.

Thanks, that situation is a bit different, but very helpful. Here we would have: MDD: Single 1.8 GHz 7447a 167 Bus QS '02: Dual 1.8 GHz 7448 133 Bus Your (johnklos) results show that for data intensive things, the QS would beat out the MDD. This would be even furthered by the dual cpus...

I was referring to my Latitude C810. I like the same hardware across lines. The Inspiron expansion bays are half the price of the Latitude bays and are exactly the same (for the c810 at least), guess which I bought?

Me thinks Wallstreet = Latitude }:) ...seeing as I own one of each. (and they both take the same expansion bays; CD, Floppy, Zip 100) Also, they both appear to be made of bricks and cement.

Per the service manual: Tools Required The following tools are required to disassemble a PowerBook Duo 2300c system: • T-6 torx driver • T-8 torx driver • T-10 torx driver • IC extractor • Jeweler’s flat-blade screwdriver • # 00 Phillips screwdriver • Duo battery contact alignment tool...

Eh, to all their own I guess. I'd love a 5500/250 DE.

Classilla - Best All Around, especially for Javascript iCab - Sometimes beats Classilla on Layout, I use it as my JS off, CSS on browser. Opera 5 isn't bad either.

Found them, and referency stuff: 1.0.2 is the version that shipped on the original disks. 1.0.4 is available http://homepage.mac.com/alk/downloads/MV1.0.4Installer.sit.hqx The 2.0 beta is available from, surprisingly enough, the wayback machine...

Does anyone have a link for the version 2.0 drivers?

Would the higher clocked Dual 7448's outperform the lower clocked 7447a(s) and 7455(s) when used on the QS's slower 133 Bus?
