Actually, in the case of the 61xx family, there's no difference between the
Powermac and Performas (I think the Powermac's had a 601/66, the performas
used a 601/60), that being said, my webserver is a Performa6116CD, and it's
been happily running MkLinux with Takashi's Oe's 2.4 kernels for about three
years(wll, since he released them anyway, it ran the original 2.0.38 kernel
for quite a long time), without a crash that wasn't user induced, I would
also point out that the Performa 6360 is a fine machine (writing this on one
running YDL2.0) but on the whole, yes, the performas are pure shite =]
