Re: [Question #76304]: Can I still get Ubuntu for older Macs ( G4_400-500mhz)

 

Question #76304 on linux-meta in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+question/76304

Tom proposed the following answer:
I've asked around on DistroWatch and 2 people have suggested YellowDog
linux although it's quite different from Ubuntu and i seem to remember
another distro that was also good for this.  If possible could you try
out a demo of YellowDog without installing it just by using a LiveCd of
it?

I thought there was some hardware incompatibility between (X)ubuntu and
the G4 but i really don't know so again trying a LiveCd session might be
worth testing out.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
