Hi guys,anyone here tried having ubuntu on a G4 450MHz sawtooth?
Does it run flash well?
I haven't installed Ubuntu on my Sawtooth yet. I have a G4 with two
drives, one waiting for Ubuntu.
What version did you install and where did you download it?
Any pointers, warnings, helpful online resources?
I just updated the Ubuntu install on my G4 to 10.04.1.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my G4 and want to pass along a tip
in case anyone tries to type in a username during the install process
that contains a capital letter - don't use capital letters. The
install will not proceed.
Anyone else contemplating throwing Ubuntu at one of their G3/G4s - do
it!
Add a second drive dedicated to Ubuntu.
As a Mac user you'll feel right at home - it is very mac-like. I can't
wait to begin installing all of the free software out there.
Regarding Flash, I read on the screen during installation that Flash
is supported. Firefox is the browser. Just make sure to check a couple
of boxes that allow downloading updates during installation, and say
"Yes" to any extras offered during installation.
Thanks for getting me off my duff!
Dale
