oldworld topped out at 366MHz anyway right? (the 333 and 366 Beige

much the minimum you'd need to run Fedora anyway these days... Not
sure it's really worth it, you'll need at least 256MB of RAM anyway,
and those things used 168-pin 3.3V DIMMs which are pretty hard to
find these days.
FWIW, my machine, a beige G3, is 233 MHz and has accumulated 416 MiB
over the years. It handles Debian Lenny Iceweasel OK, but then, my
main computer is a 1.2 GHz Athlon.
The Blue & White G3 was the first New World machine I think.
Yes.
Remember too that you'll need your boot partition within the
first
8GB of the drive as the firmware can't handle booting from a
partition which ends anywhere past that.
I'm using BootX, so it's not an issue. (Fiddling with buggy
openfirmware seems like something to avoid, anyway.)
