I'm running Powerbook G3/400, system 9.2.2 with 128 meg ram and 6 gig internal. I have a backup of 20 gig on the firewire. I can add another firewire drive but want to avoid that expense if possible. My objectives for going to Linux are: 1) It's open source. 2) It's more robust; 3) It is more flexible in what can be customized. 4) It runs SPlus and a number of other good stat routines that were developed for Unix. I want to keep my appleworks 5 wordprocessor, my OE email, and my IE and Opera browsers, or have at least good equivalents. Right now have narrowed down choices to YDL, Mandrake, and SuSE. I'm not leaning toward any of them right now, it is too early. So, anything you post regarding your choice strategy and thinking along the way would be helpful to me. The same goes for any others who have been down this path already.
