This is a picture of my first mac!
It was a trusty companion for a couple of years and after I upgraded it served several family members very well over the last 8 years. It finally came back to me last week. Before putting it in the loft I did a quick search on Google for things to do with old Macs. One suggestion was why not put Linux on.
So that's what I did. For some reason most of the posts I read suggested that Power PC support stopped at Ubuntu 7.0 but this turned out to be wrong. It seems to me that you can get all versions of Ubuntu for old Macs.
Look for ubuntu*desktop-power-pc.iso here.
Once downloaded its easy: burn and load (hold down alt when booting). You get a chance to try before you install with Live CD. This post is written on the 'New' Box!
