Which, I expect, isn't much fun on a 366MHz G3, especially with a laptop
hard disk. I get sufficiently annoyed with compile times on my PIII/800
laptop that I offload lots of compilation tasks for my laptop to my
Athlon - so I can't imagine being able to handle the iBook. OTOH, if
you're patient I guess it'd be ok.

Nonetheless, I'd be inclined to try a distro that required less
compilation first.
