Installing ubuntu on a Mac SE

[Rob J. Caskey]

The word is impossible. It's akin to putting a Jet Engine in a
Model-T. You can take a few nuts and bolts from the jet engine and use
them to hold parts of your Model T together but it will never make you
fly. Sell/trade your MacSE and buy another computer, people here are
doing you no favors and wasting your time. I might could bootstrap the
Linux kernel onto it with a few weeks worth of work to the point you
could get a command line and run a hello world program, others might
could do it faster, but it will never run OpenOffice, a calender
applet, or even Mine Sweeper on Linux.
