I'm running debian on my G3 even as we speak! As far as the Mac OS is
concerned, yes, it will run OS X, but it is rather slow (and you need more
RAM!). But not that bad, actually. You do need some kind of Mac OS to run
BootX. I haven't had any luck w/ Quik, unfortunately.
Of course, you could ignore the mac side altogether and just run linux w/ the
coprocessor card. That might be fun all by itself!
How is it that you got a machine, but no OS? You can go to apple, and get
something that will run the G3, just minimally to get you into Linux.
