Novell/SUSE has also resumed development of the PowerPC version of SuSE Linux which can be installed
on current and recent PPC based Apple Macintosh computers. The last version of SUSE Linux made for
installation on Apple Macs, was v7.3, which by now is really quite old, and pretty much obsolete.

More details here . . .

Since I still have my old G3 iMac, and given the fact that it hasn't been used for a while, it looks
like I'll be able to give it a new lease of life. Once I get a "new" HDD installed on it, I'll be trying
out Kubuntu Linux and SUSE Linux on it. I'll stick with whichever one works best on it.

Sure I could put Mac OS X (Panther) back on it, but with only 256MB RAM onboard, and given
the fact that it's extremely fiddly and really quite difficult to physically upgrade it's internal
parts, my iMac is very unlikely to see any releases of Mac OS X installed upon it again!

I downloaded SuSE 9.3 Professional last weekend. I installed it on this machine as an update to SuSE 9.1 Personal to see how it runs, no problems to report.

I also decided to check to see if it could also be installed on my other PC as an update to SuSE 9.0 Personal, because 9.1 Personal would not allow an update from 9.0 to 9.1, it had to be a new (clean) installation. But 9.3 Professional allows 9.0 Personal to be updated and this was installed yesterday.

When I had 9.1 installed on this second computer, it always displayed errors pertaining to SuSEFirewall2 and iptables, which the first computer did not display, so I reformatted that hard drive and reinstalled 9.0 Personal.

So far on the second system with 9.3 Professional installed, I am not seeing any errors, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

The second PC may have a slow CPU (166 MHz Intel Pentium/MMX), but it runs and that is what's important.
