Is the iBook2 really good?



Is the iBook2 really a good choice as an inexpensive
Debian notebook?
What are the bad parts of it?
Can I just recompile x86 apps? E.g. I would like to
run Ximian Gnome but they only have debs for
Potato/x86.
I have heard very different opinions on the G3 500
ranging from people saying it's as good as a P3 800 to
opinions saying it's no better than a Celeron 300.
I usually use Ximian Gnome and Mozilla and Gnumeric
etc. Is the G3 500 strong enough for those apps?
BTW I sometimes like to play games. Can I play Unreal
Tournament comfortably or is the G3 500 too slow?
Is there any x86 notebook you could recommend instead?

Thanks
Russell
