![]() So 14.04 would have been a better choice, I believe. I tested 15.10 on a 1.42Ghz MacMini (which I sold), it was way too slow and un-responsive. I agree, Linux is a great Option and thank you for the hints ! ![]() It was discontinued in 2006 as part of the Intel switch first to developers then consumers. This guide will review the repair process of an Apple PowerMac G5 model number A10 from 2004. I installed OSX 10.4.11 from DVD, also worked. The PowerMac G5 is a desktop computer first produced in 2003 by the Apple Corporation. Here is Ubuntu Linuxs page which includes download links for their most recent version of Ubuntu for Power PC. This page has an extremely detailed guide on installing Debian for PowerPC. There are some alternatives, though, described in this article. There is no official Flash Player for Linux PPC. I still have that machine, and it currently runs the Fienix repository. The problem is that the Flash Player situation would be worse on Linux than on Mac OS X. The DVD-issue is not the Player, it´s very unlikely. If you want the best performance out of your machine then you would want to natively install Linux rather than virtualize it. For quite a while I was an Apple fan, my next computer was an iMac G3 SE, and then a Power Mac G5 970MP machine, which I was quite proud of. I know a bit and have some other devices besides G5 PM and ibook: iPad, iPhone, Nexus7, Apple TV, Apple watch, a gaming PC rig with VR ready GTX 980ti, and so on… oh, forgot my two old iPod 1st gen P (FreeBSD also cannot boot.) Ive read in the manual, that on PPC sysinstall cannot properly partition and i should use gpart instead, but i. However, whenever i try to install it, it completely destroys the partition tables on ALL disks and rendering Linux to unbootable. ![]() I do not think, buying some cheap PPC Mac stuff was a mistake - it was for nostalgic reasons and for fun. I have a G5 Power Mac with Linux and i would like to install FreeBSD on it. I was thinking, there could be some “care about Mac”, because I think it is still the most of PPC´s out there, besides of some overpriced “Amiga-ish” Systems for 2-3k Dollars. I tried this on my ibook for about an hour or more and did not get it to boot from the USB stick - I think on the PM it will be the same. According to wikipedia: PowerPC is a RISC microprocessor architecture created by the 1991 AppleâIBMâMotorola alliance, known as AIM. Booting PPC mac from USB is not that easy If this would work, I had done it already, instead of using a DVD. I am going to install a Version of Ubuntu (not that i am straying away from my beautiful OS that apple provide, i will be running it along side and will still be using it heavily D) on to my Mac G5 Dual Core 2. Just like other distro it is a free software and open-source Linux distribution for Power Architecture hardware.
