*** Six years is a lot of time for IT. Ofcourse things changed. Things
changed for MacOS also, no?

"Waste of time" should be elaborated: You want to run a server? I don't see
why it should be a waste of time installing it on a G3. If it's to use it as
a Desktop box? Yes, than I must agree it's a waste of time. Modern Linux
desktop applications would have problems with the 300Mhz. I don't even dare
thinking about trying to run KDE...
