I have an old blueberry iMac G3 (Rev. B) that's been sitting in the closet for about 4 years and I thought I'd do something with it. I was thinking about running Ubuntu on it, but how well would it run?

G3 233 MHz Processor
32 MB RAM
4 GB Hard Drive
ATI Rage Pro Graphics
24x CD-ROM Drive

Thanks

I used the same type of mac as my home server running debian. Faster than OS X running on the same machine...

Even with 32 MB RAM?

Nope, replaced it with 2 128mb sticks of PC133 in it... you should be able to do the same cheap and easy.

What about the size of your disks when you use it as a server?
