This morning was very productive! I installed Ubuntu PowerPC edition on a Cherry iMac (400MHz) donated to The Working Centre and I managed to get a response over a serial connection to my Sun IPC.
The iMac works brilliantly, and compared to Mac OS/X Tiger on a slightly better iMac with more RAM (256MB vs 192MB) Ubuntu wins hands down! Tiger crawls on the other G3.
The Sun IPC is a fascinating little box because it's about the size of a lunch pail. I'm going to buy a NIC for it and use it as an apache web server.
