I am pretty sure Debian based Ubuntu has a version for the Mac: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ However - you may need to email or contact Ubtuntu about where...
I think there is/was a Debian for PowerPC. I installed linux on a G3 a while back but switched to the latest Mac OSX (panther?) so that my daughter could...
... For Mac hardware, esp. pre-G3 era, your best bet is YellowDog, Mac OS-X is BSD based, and AFAIK the big-endian support in BSD is a bit better than it is...
I ran Gentoo on my iMac until it died. It was a Mac G3 333 with 96 Megs RAM and a 6 gig disk. It was somewhat slow, especially when compiling. Other distros...

Hi All, I am looking for some installation suggestions. I have Turbo Linux 4.0 and Caldera Open Linux 2.3 on hand. I would like to install Linux on a system ...
Hi David, Sorry for the late reply. Visual Press has a book out called Unix for Mac, which covers not only the Unix/BSD roots of OSX but also how to run...
Hi Mike, I always thought Caldera 2.3 was one of the best of its day. Installed perfectly on a then-current-but-now-old Compaq Armada 7800 laptop, configured...

... Turbo Linux, is more of an enterprise/commercial distro iirc, and Caldera isn't being supported any longer (isn't this SCO/Evil now?) Best bet is to...
... If you have a sound card, imho, this is the lowest supported commodity hardware area, so would look towards this as a big forethought... -- Michael J. Ryan...
lugy.us is available, and would be willing to register this and set it up, if anyone thinks that this would be okay for me to do, let me know, as I don't want...
I don't know how new that version of TurboLinux you have is, but I _WOULD NOT_ use Caldera Open Linux. It's old and SCO doesn't/Won't support it... unless you...

That sounds better to me than figuring out how to install ALL of KDE (including all 100+ packages) without getting myself wrapped around the axel! Did you say...
I got the AMD-64 version on side B of the DVD that came from the 9.1 (PRO) distro from the SuSE store. There was no up front info about it; when I started an...
