Hi everyone,

I have an iBook G3 Dual USB that has the infamous "logic board
problem". I've tried reflowing the GPU a couple of times with moderate
success, but over time the problem recurs. I've given up on this
approach.

I'm considering removing the GPU altogether, but I am unsure if the
system would be bootable without it. I'd like to use it as an embedded
system to control some external hardware via USB. It would remain
headless with access being provided via SSH over ethernet.

Will I be able to boot into an OS, preferably Linux, without a
graphics adapter? Does anyone have experience with this approach?

Thanks a bunch,

Brian
