[H&R] Open Lab Today at 911 Media

[Joseph Gray]

Ubuntu 6 on a two G3 iMacs, and Xubuntu 6 on another of them (which  
does run faster on that hardware).  There's supposedly a version of  
Java that will run on the powerPC in that OS, but it requires some  
special install process that I'm unfamiliar with.  The Java thing is  
really just a perk, I'd like to see Processing running on these  
machines, but they are so "ancient" at this point I'm not sure really  
what could be done with them.

Firefox and the GIMP both work like champs on the little candy colored  
boxes though, so, considering they are free public access terminals  
seems good enough even if the Java install never works.
