Ah well. I would take it off your hands, but being that we're separated by a large body of water it kind of makes things difficult (nor would I want to imagine the shipping costs 
).
I guess see about finding a good home for that oldie. I'm sure someone either on the 68KMLA or the PPCMLA that's in your vicinity would gladly snatch it up and give it some needed TLC.
As for the Dell, be aware that Dell has some great models with Ubuntu already preinstalled. Even the upcoming Dell Mini-Inspiron is going to have the option of Ubuntu as a preinstalled OS if you're into the ultraportables (I might see about getting that in the future).
Take care!

Rhisiart here,
Thanks for the very useful link re: Ubuntu/VMware Tools.
I've decided to give up on having a virtual Linux OS on my Mac.
I think I'll look out for a cheap Dell laptop and install it on that.

P.S. I think iBooks have let Apple down. I don't rate them in terms of quality of hardware. Well that's my experience of them anyhow.
