I am sorry for the lack of replies. I was busy with some packages of mine entering Debian (and reporting the problems that I saw to Apple, as they have a pretty serious problem in their fsck, which leads to a nasty segmentation fault).
Now, I am back to the task of trying the Ubuntu installation (since it seems that the next revision of MacOS X will drop support for my machine) and I desperately need an Operating System that is current and where I can use things to teach my students things with Free Software (and, to be sincere, the Fink Project for MacOS X isn't sufficient).
But most important of all, I need a Free Operating System, having already run Debian on this iBook (but I would like to distribute copies of this to my friends that still have G3 perfectly functional machines).
I am burning a CD with Gutsy right now and I will try the tests that you suggested. I will report back what I can.
