Hey Tony,<br>I am also using Ubuntu on an iBook G4 and have found it to be a nice alternative to OSX. I have also successfully installed Feisty from the community work ongoing to supple people like us with a nice GNU/Linux distro.
<br><br>If you have any problems, ping me on IRC. You will find me in the ubuntu-uk channel, or you are welcome to private message me at any time. My nick is AndrewB<br><br>Hope all is going well so far.<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Hello, Anyone using Ubuntu on an iMac G4?<br><br>I've just got one, and installed Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS (Dapper) on it...<br><br>Works quite well, but the recent decision by Canonical not to support<br>the PowerPC architecture in future is disappointing. There is a 'port'
<br>of Feisty, but I couldn't get it to boot. Might have been a problem with<br>the CD, so I'll burn another one: I don't want to have to use backports<br>to get 'Gnash' working so I can enjoy the full irony of watching the Mac
<br>vs. PC spoof ad's from YouTube on a Mac running Ubuntu ;-)<br><br>Why? - I'd like to convert my Mac colleagues to Ubuntu, of course!<br><br> Tony.<br>--<br>Dr. A.J.Travis, | mailto:
