I found a site describing a potential fix for the display problem (http://www.debianadmin.com/fix-for-sleepy-display-and-boot-to-prompt- on-imac-g3.html)
I'm going to give it a try after work tonight, and give fink and abiword a try. I used Abiword for my PC for a while, but I remember preferring OpenOffice, but I'll take whatever works. NeoOffice requires paying, and I'm trying very hard to spend as close to nothing as I can. > If you're considering a dual boot, look at installing fink or macports to > run linux programs instead.
