Powerbook G3

[Samuel Baldwin]

I recently unearthed two Macintosh Powerbook G3s from deep in my
house. At one point
about 6 months ago one of them worked while the other kinda worked.
They're 250 Mhz or so and 32 MB's of onboard RAM. Of course, my first
thought when I found them was "Linux!".

Because of their uber-low specs I wonder which distro would be suited
to run on these machines. I'm open to suggestions and really don't
care if I can run X or not. Bash, Irssi, Screen, Links, Nano/Vim, Perl
and GCC are all I really need.

I'm also missing the charger/ac power adapter, anyone know where I can
get one for cheap? (The kind with a circular deal with the mac logo,
and then the cable-- The old G3 type). Some mac sites wanted me to
fork up 50 dollars, which is probably more than the laptops are worth
now.

If I make it to the installfest I'll bring it. I also managed to get
the MechInstaller files onto my Xbox and ordered a copy of MechAssault
(Original) which should arrive this week, meaning I'd be all set for
an Xbox-Linux install. After that I'm thinking Xebian.
