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.
Linux on my iBook
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.
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 than what you get with Mac OS X 10.4.
The only difficulty I had was getting the VPN to the office working correctly.
