Hello,
Thanks for all the feedback. I ended up installing Ubuntu 8.10 using
the alternate CD sucessfully for the first time! Everything seems to
be working, but the fans is almost always on...it seems like ubuntu is
taxing the system more than mac os x? is that possible? Also, what is
the least resource intensive desktop environment I can use on ubuntu
8.10? How do I confirm that I have the right video drivers on my
system?

thanks in advance!

Bottom posting list :-}. I have an iBook G3 and also tried Ubuntu, but found the exact same problem and a few others. Ubuntu has a lot of extra junk in the trunk, from trying to cater to everyones whims. This is why I use Debian, very low on resources and runs great.
