Yes - as I stated I currently have a board from the last production 
run here which I'll bring along if you like. It is currently housed 
in a nice MicroATX case and as the G3 is passivly cooled it is very 
silent - in contrast to the Athlon sitting next to it which is (now) 
way to loud. 

Another production run is about to begin (afaik) and they are looking 
to move some production from Germany to Taiwan to minimise production 
costs and to produce on a greater volume. 

Currently usergroups are being targeted for a special discount, 
offering a motherboard and 600mhz G3 CPU for $299USD plus shipping 
and GST etc. Many things are still being ironed out in regards to 
linux, however they have core DebianPPC and Gentoo PPC members 
onboard with boards. The developer of MOL also has a working 
relationship with Genesi. I'm running Debian PPC Sid 24/7 on mine and 
there has been no unexplained problems yet - running Xfree 4.3, Gnome 
2.2 etc. 

Any questions let me know!

Cheers

Francois
