Q: How to identify my laptop

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Apple computers. I have a friend wanting to sell me an old PowerBook G3. The date on the back says 1998. So I don't know where to start. I don't know how much money to offer this person, or if its worth it at all.

My idea is to pick this up and load linux on it if it has the power to do it.

Can someone advise me? I've written down what I think the serial number may be:

CK83004JDG5
OR
BTO-Z00Q0020T

Thank you for your time,

TJ

G3 Powerbook, Mac OS 9.0.x, Not sure
