I love my ibook, but man oh man, one of the hardest laptops to work on. Had to replace the HDD on mine last year and hoping the SSD i installed lasts the rest of my life because that laptop is probably not going all the way back together next time it comes apart.

I did get NT running on mine using that project from last year and it's quite the feeling to see space cadet pinball on a G3 clamshell lol.

On the slightly newer ibooks you can run relatively modern Debian (i think i have 11 on my G4?) or else Adelie Linux is pretty good but i haven't messed as much with the clamshell.
