I'm running Ubuntu on my iBook G3/600 with 384 MB RAM. It works just
fine. All hardware is supported, sleep/recovery works (with just a
little bit of customizing needed). I don't have any AirPort card
however, but I believe that everything works OK as long as you don't
have AirPort Extreme.

I'd go for it. These laptops look cool and Ubuntu works very well on
'em...

Cheers,
Wouter
