Re: I want to set up my G5 to run Linux
I’m sorry I can’t really provide any specific advice, except to say that I had a lot of problems setting up Linux on my G5 back in the day. I’d been using Linux since the 90’s and had had a pretty good experience with LinuxPPC on my old Motorola Starmax 5500, so I thought I’d try it out on my dual 1.8GHz G5. I tried Ubuntu (back when there was an officially supported PPC version) and a few other distros, and had nothing but problems - particularly with the system fans. Since PPCs are now a small niche market, I doubt the situation has improved. By all means try it out, but adjust your expectations accordingly.

Re: I want to set up my G5 to run Linux
I've actually done it, my last 2 systems were a g5 and a g4.. I have since updated to an intel Mac ( my last systems were stolen) but I still have the Slackintosh ISO's that are more secure on those machine as opposed to leopard And I could walk you thru it also I just wish I had a g5 again, they are so dang fast... Hmmm hmmm AltiVec velocity engines I still would rather watch movies and listen to my tunes on one of those instead. If you interested in those I could make a torrent for you and get you a hash to make sure it came thru properly for you Sent from my iPhone On Feb 12, 2016, at 3:01 PM, GLT wrote: > I've looked around a little on the Web for how to set up a PowerMac G5 with > Linux, but could use suggestions/advice--NOT mere pointers to information > sources--and maybe a small amount of help by Email or phone (within the USA). > (I'm a long-time Mac user and know a little about Linux too, so I shouldn't > need much help by email or phone.) > > Thanks! > -- > -- > 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. > The list FAQ is at http://lowendmac.com/lists/g-list.shtml and our netiquette > guide is at http://www.lowendmac.com/lists/netiquette.shtml > To post to this group, send email to g3-5-list@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/g3-5-list > > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "G-Group" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to g3-5-list+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- -- 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.

I want to set up my G5 to run Linux
I've looked around a little on the Web for how to set up a PowerMac G5 with Linux, but could use suggestions/advice--*NOT* mere pointers to information sources--and maybe a small amount of help by Email or phone (within the USA). (I'm a long-time Mac user and know a little about Linux too, so I shouldn't need much help by email or phone.)
