Ever considered Linux as an alternative to your aging OS X version? In this video, we will take a look at installing Linux Mint on a PowerBook G4. Fedora Linux for PowerPC Macs. Low End Mac publishes an ongoing series of Compleat Guides to things like Mac OS 9 and different computer lines, but we can't do that with Linux and BSD - they are moving targets. Both families of operating systems are under constant development. I was able to revive that PowerPC Mac running Linux. My current build is running Lubuntu, a lightweight flavor of Ubuntu. The beauty here is that PowerPC is still alive, well, and fairly well. Void Linux for PowerPC/Power ISA (unofficial) Void Linux ppc is a staging fork of the Void Linux distribution intended for the PowerPC/Power architecture. It supports 64-bit and 32-bit hardware, with 64-bit supporting both little and big endian modes, while aiming to.
While there are several builds of 'linux' or unix that could be run in certain Apple environs (hardware)
Linux on PowerPC Macs has 2,055 members. This is an English-language user-to-user support group. Linux and BSD Unix are free, open source operating systems that have long been available on Apple Macintosh hardware but not nearly as widely deployed as the Mac OS.
the names and conditions are detailed enough to consider further and in-depth study prior to being
fully (experimentally) committed to the installation and attempted use of any specific version.
Ubuntu, Debian, Mint PPC, and others offer possibilities; and may require much more command-line
use to access their features than the graphic user interface of Mac OS X (or earlier OS 9).
Linux for mac os x download. While I've read about these differing systems and how they could be used in Apple architecture
I've not used any of them; but do have a sprinkling of Mac OS from early version 1985 on and
lesser so with 'windows' PC. Not sure, but there are several places to study the topic online and
you may find a good offline book to backup the internet to use with experimental versions.
