The hardware is old enough that os9.1 is the latest thing it will run (pre G3 hardware) I'd just like to make good use of it. If OSX would run on it that would probably be my first choice.

PCI-Mac are divided in two groups: Old-World and New-World Old-World means a gray-colored case, New World is everything above the first iMac (colored case) This means you might have an Old-World Mac: Suse and I think the other distributors supports the following OW-Macs: PowerPC 7600, 7500, 7300, 7200 PowerPC 8600, 8500, 8200 PowerPC 9600, 9500 PowerPC/Performa 6500, 6400, 5500, 5400, 4400, 6360 G3 Desktop, Towers, All-in-Ones I tried several distributions, like Debian, Gentoo (very flexible - but much work), YellowDogLinux (YDL) and Suse 7.1 (never found 7.3 for Download and I didn't want to pay another 50 Euro for another Suse-Box) OW-Mac can't boot from CD but on CD 1 of Debian or YDL is everything you need to start an OW-Mac out of a working Mac-OS. I would try Debian or YDL. If you have problems, feel free to mail me. -Ronny-
