The software ecosystem for Rhapsody hasn’t changed much since 1014, has it? I have a PDQ too, and it was kind of disappointing how little one can do in that environment.
By the way, I’m pretty sure that I’ve installed and booted Mac OS X Server 1.x (or maybe it was one of the early pre-Aqua beta versions of Mac OS X?) on an early revision of the PowerBook G4. It’s not really any better of an experience than the PDQ, but it’s interesting no less!
These days one of the things I’m most interested in with regards to a POSIX environment on an old Mac is MacRelix: https://www.macrelix.org/ https://www.macrelix.org/
I really want to compile cryanc/carl for it, but I haven’t quite figured out how to work the C compiler…

It has become markedly harder to procure enough quality goat skin to create parchment and the grimoire which contained the formulae for the ink has unfortunately been lost to the ages. Quills are still easily available but you need to make sure they have been cured in open air for 2 years, the modern microwaved variety is clearly sub-par. What has been observed is a marked reduction in the number of bugs in the last century, possibly related to the use of insecticides.
