A blue/white G3 in an ugly beige box?  Horrible!  ;-)

I have a blue/white G3 (upgraded to G4) that I've been trying to make more 
usable.  Unfortunately when I brought it up from 384MB to 1G, Linux 
started giving segfaults on bootup.  I'm not sure whether I hope the 
problem is the memory or the Mac.
