Linux on my iBook

Peter Skarpetis | July 23, 2006 | 3:54 pm

My trusty old 600MHz G3 iBook is getting a bit bogged down by Mac OS X 10.4.7 so it is time to put Linux on it and let it breathe a bit easier. I just started downloading Fedora Core 5 and in a few hours will be installing a fresh copy of Linux on the iBook. If it all goes well I will be back to give you my impressions of the performance.

How’d you go with the Ibook/fedora combo?

i’m gonna try Fedora core 6 on my g3 900mhz ibook and i’d like some feedback.

It worked really well, and the performance was much better

It worked really well, and the performance was much better than what you get with Mac OS X 10.4.

The only difficulty I had was getting the VPN to the office working correctly.
