Too much so! (As I think wistfully of the "museum" I am accumulating at 
home...)

Tell us more: how well does Yellow Dog Linux support the PDS card? I 
have at work such a machine with (I believe) the exact same PDS-slotted 
G3 card. In Mac OS 7.x, the card requires a low-level init/Control Panel 
to function. I was not able to get it to function in Mac OS 9.x, thus 
killing its efficacy as a Retrospect Backup server (the upgrade to 
Retrospect that supported Mac OS X backups required Mac OS 9 or higher 
for the server). Rather than send this machine to our Surplus 
Department, I would love to keep it in service running something.

Best wishes,
Clint
