so a buddy of mine gave me an old iBook G3 of his he's had for years. It's a 600mhz PowerPC version with just the stock 128mb of RAM in it. He gave it to me with a charger, and a battery that hold little to no charge at all.
I took it off his hands assuming I might be able to make it useful somehow, but my initial plan of somehow restoring MacOSX has been scrapped due to trouble and effort involved.
I've thought about putting a PowerPC friendly distro of linux on it, but I have absolutely no linux experience, and most of the linux community seems to have left the PowerPC hardware behind.
tl;dr is this iBook worth saving? Or should trash it somewhere?
