Well, my primary LinuxPPC workstation for sentimental reasons happens to
be an iBook G3 800MHz (well, its also a convenient 12" as opposed to the
large stuff sitting around here) with only 384MB of RAM

With all the stuff I usually have running, running Flash and Acrobat
seem second nature to it. I've not tried anything more heavyweight (like
trying for Windows to emulate on top of Linux/x86 or something)

That aside, qemu has got some gcc4 compatibility issues, and I haven't
quite seen all this working on a "modern" installation of Linux :)
(last being FC3/ppc)
