Hello Jacqui
I'm not a Mac expert, but I do know that there are a number of different
Macs that can all be described as 'G3', and their ability to run a given
version of Linux varies. For example, I tried to install Debian/PPC on
a Blue&White G3 and it just wouldn't -- wrong sort version of
OpenFirmware or something.
There's plenty of information out there on the net though -- once you
know the exact model of G3 machine that you've got.
And other mice with more than one button are available.
cheers
Chris
