How well does a Pismo function under X? I have two Pismo parts machines and am pondering spending some money ($100 or so) on a battery and memory to make a single low-end (probably X.3) portable out of the two.

I hesitate because, for a couple hundred dollars more, I could probably get a G4/ 1.33GHz 12" iBook/ PowerBook or some such. Smaller, lighter, faster, better graphics, etc.

Anyone steeped in the Pismo lore care to comment? I have never seen or used one running OSX, and the only G3 I have running OSX is a Beige MiniTower, which is a poor model for the OSX potential of a Pismo because of system bus speed differences, etc.

I'd be grateful for any and all advice.
