Nice vid. I have an Imac G3 266 mhz pruchased from a yard sale for $20 about a year ago that I tried a few distos of Linux on. I’ve upgraded the mem to 288 meg (originally had 2ï»¿ -32 mb chips) – took a dvd/cd writer out of a toshiba craptop (lcd didn’t work & it was terribly slow) & put that in – now it burn cd’s! – I have ubuntu jaunty with ext4 in it now & it boots pretty quick for this ol’ machine -lxde is the desktop. I’ll put up a new vid. soon. I have a vid of the jaunty beta booting.

@CH12ON1C Flash for PPC is only for Mac OS X.. For Ubuntu PPC or another Linux Dist, you need swfdec or gnash.btw, a G3 is too slow for Flash, i have a G4/400, andï»¿ its the same, too slow for youtube and co.

Flash is not supported? Have youï»¿ tried “sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree”? It works on intel-based computers and might as well work on ppc. Please keep us informed if it works!

Hey, i’ve got a question. I have an iMac G3 which is exactly the same, and i tried to install exactly the sameï»¿ version of Xubuntu, but i can’t. Which CD did you use? (i know, sounds a little dumb, but i am new with iMac’s.) Can you help me out?
