This is my trilug tie in:
Ultimately I want to put debian on it. (I figure if I'm going to lean left, I ought to go all the way!)
The machine is a beige mac, 333mghz G3. 256M ram, and I think a 7 Gig disk. I think it has ATI graphics on the mobo.
Here's a rundown of my questions, you can answer me offline if you feel it is not relevant to trilug.
I want to upgrade it before I install linux on it.
What kinds of drives does it take?
What kinds of memory does it use?
Can I put in a new video card? It has a mac video connector,
and I'm using a pc monitor with an adapter. I think the
adapter is preset to a fixed resolution/refresh_rate. If
I install linux, is there a text mode? Will I loose
the video, since it is preprogrammed for a fixed vert/horz
refresh rate?
USB? will any card work here ( I have an intrex-special usb2.0)
card.) Do I need to look for drivers? linux/mac support?
Can I use wireless with it? I'd prefer usb wireless. Do these
work? linux & mac support?an os10 question:
Isn't there something like 'fink' that lets you use some
open source software? gcc?b�
ps. what is a bogomips rating for this setup? Is there a problem
with bootx and cpu cacheing on this box?-- b�
