[Cialug] Mac Powerbook for linux?

[Nathan C. Smith]

400 Mhz, so it looks like the last of that series.

I've read before that 400 MHz Apple is not equal to 400 MHz PC.
It also has 8MB video RAM and DVD.

Any tips?

You don't mention a speed, but these are the 2 models referred to as  
"Lombard/Bronze":
