Hey vniow, let me know what you think of Mandrake 9.1 for PPC. I'm thinking about converting the Cube to Linux, but so far the only PPC distro that I've seen good reviews of is Yellow Dog. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

All of them work except for the Quadra 610. The SCSI bus is broken, so it won't boot off the hard drive.
Also, the Quadra 650 has a Caddy CD-ROM drive. I have the caddy too. It's a very cool, yet inconvenient, design.
wow, i see a lot of people actually have intel processors. So i guess that most people either have to use them at work, or school, or just don't care about buying an intel processor. I mean, in my lifetime, i've had 1 386, 1 486, 1 pentium, 1 pentium 3, and 5 pentium 4's (1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.9, 2.2 Ghz), and they were all fine machines... i still use the 1.9 dell, and 500Mhz P3. But for my overall use is on my 17" powerbook, which i love by the way.

14" iBook, 800 MHz with 10.2.5, and I use it every day. This is my first Mac, I've had it for about 2 months and it's working very well
I've also got an old Celery 633 with Win 2000 that I use when I have to.
Got an old 8 MB Colour Classic out in the garage with 7.5.5, and about 2 megs of HD space free! It's actually my brother's but he'd rather use his Dell. It's sitting on the shelf gathering dust at the moment, but I remember the "fun" of installing 7.5.5 off floppies, there's like 25 of them to go through, and it takes AGES on an old 030.....
