Yes! That powerbook is a beast! It almost runs the internet, youtube and such as well as my emac. I swear by the PPC macs. My wifes macbook is awesome, but man, these old macs can outdo the windows computers of the same age by a long shot. I do love this Mint however. Its speed on this old imac is amazing. Im gonna attempt Mint on the powerbook, as soon as I can pick up an extra hard drive to put in it :)
