It's definitely out there though I'd look into running Arch Linux maybe for a server, no idea what to suggest for everyday use. It's difficult to choose the linux distribution though because nothing over 12.04 LTS seems to work right, and PPC support isn't mainstream anymore. I've picked me up a G4 Mac Mini 1.33GHz PPC variant, and plan on running an in home web/file/torrent/icecast server. What are you planning on doing with your Mac? The Ubuntu community needs help from people with PPC hardware just like you. MATE has been ported over to PPC and is being tested.

I think Ubuntu MATE is the best option for you. When it had tiger about a year ago, it was absolutely the beast and still held it's own REALLY well! I needd and install dvd to migrate to a larger 2.5 HD.80.gig. There seems to be nothing on the DVD RW I shut down the puter, started it with the dvd in, held the controa and c keys but still booted to the desktop. In general, what is the best overall Linux OS for my mac? I need to see this mac get some use. I downloaded this torrent MacOSX10.4TigerDVD(PPC) I followed the instruction, for disk unitlity, mounted the file, burned the file. Only the truly organized will be able to locate that Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. I've been hearing about Yellow Dog Linux, MintPPC, Lubuntu etc for PowerPC. If you troubleshoot Macs on a regular basis, sooner or later, you’re going to need an old Mac OS X install CD or DVD. I've even seen lag up to Core i5 machines with Unity. Step 1: Check that your Mac is compatible Step 2: Back up your Mac Step 3: Open the Mac App Store Step 4: Download MacOS Catalina Step 5: Run the installer Mac owners should consider upgrading to. I had simply forgotten that Unity is a stupid resource hog and the CPU is at a constant 100% usage even when navigating the GUI. I had no restore disk, so I went ahead and used a PowerPC Port of 12.04 for PPC.

Hi! I've got a Power Mac G4 MDD (Dual 1.0ghz, 2GB RAM, fuckton o' harddrives and Radeon 9000 Pro AGP) and Tiger decided it hated life, so I had to format it and install a new OS.
