I'm using one like that. It came with OS 9, It's now running OS 10.3.9 which I went back to after installing 10.4. 10.4 works OK and depending on your usage it is probably best for you. My problem remains that 10.4 removed the ability to use Apple file sharing with my SE/30 that I still use as a simple file server. Ubuntu on an Intel box behaves fine talking to the SE/30 and the G4 but I haven't tried replacing BSD on the G4. ssh and its cousins allow me to smoothly log in to Ubuntu with Apple's Terminal.app. Yes I drive an '82 Jeep, and I'm typing on an 8500 using keys that fight back like my Olympia did.. -- --> From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. <-- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
