[iBook] ibook g3 600 mhz (2002/late 2001)

[Wilfred Reimer]

Hi Bill,

Not sure if you got my other email with the rest of the message (I hit send
by mistake the first time).  I'm clueless about Macs.  I don't know about
the difference between the two disc sets.  the ram has been bumped up to 384
on this one so I guess it could handle the Tiger (I'll google that).

I was hoping to get it to a state where I could load linux ubuntu on.  The
guy who runs Freegeek Vancouver ( http://freegeekvancouver.org/ ) said he
has the same ibook and linux works excellant on it.

Thanks again.
