but if I'm honest neither machine is used much these days. The laptop
keyboard is a bit iffy which doesn't help.
We use a lot of PPC based embedded controllers for work (variously
running OS-9 or VxWorks) and I've long entertained plans to get it onto
one of them, this would be some way from trivial though as there's
neither a CD nor USB! This project would be with a colleague who also
has a G3 iMac as well as coding skills.
Good luck with setting it all up

So, what's the interest? I'm not sure how much help I can be other
than testing but I'd like to find out who else is using or wanting to
use openSUSE on PPC.
