To be honest, I didn't know it was available. I didn't see any updates for it via Software Update. I'll have to check again.
It won't appear in Software Update under Tiger, you have to manually download it.
Wow! Thrilled to come back and see my thread has really taken off. 
It took off a long time ago. You left it on autopilot.Wow! Thrilled to come back and see my thread has really taken off.
Lol. So I see! I'll have to drag my iBook out again to see what background I left on it...It took off a long time ago. You left it on autopilot.

Couldn't got ubuntu to run too slow. But this is a disk I had laying around. A Operating system call KolibriOS. It's written entirely in assembly. Runs on most computer. But you will need a PCI card to get internet/sound working.
It works but barely playable. It's a universal binary. I have the latest version. I'm pretty good with the settings. I can't get it to play smooth. Menus start clear sometimes. But, overall experience is crap. I just got it installed because, I have not test. Some of the less graphical intense games yet. I wouldn't install it if I were you. But 0.7.3 is suppose to be compiled for the G4. It's on sourceforge.

Here's a couple wallpapers from my PowerBook G3 (Wallstreet) days:
My first Mac was the G3 PowerBook with the 13.3" screen, 292MHz processor, and the super-hot 83MHz system bus (vs. the standard 66MHz). In it's day it was the bee's knees!!

Ha! The Shark - i worked with someone who claimed to have taken that shot, not for Apple - it was his own personal holiday snap :s He generally lied whenever his mouth opened
Here's my take on older Powermac's I use I tunes 4.7.1 why less BS overhead and it does what I want
If you are sticking with iTunes 4.x, here's something you may not know.
iTunes 4.0 is the ONLY version of iTunes that Apple enabled internet sharing on. You can connect to a shared iTunes library from outside your home network (assuming you open ports in your router) and stream your music from one iTunes to another.
Apple quickly disabled this with the 4.0.1 update and has never enabled it since - which is why you can now only share libraries on WiFi.
Hi guys i know this is a bit of topic but it regards my desktop. is there a way to hide the hard drives icon on the desktop? just to have a clean desktop
Could you make a video in which you show how does it run? I am very interested in it
