Re: Ubuntu on PB rev2
There is a way of using Ubuntu on an old-world machine. It can be done with Ubuntu I know, but it's slightly tricky. I'm not sure exactly what it is.

A G3-233 is an old-world machine. Old world machines are harder to get linux onto. I think Ubuntu doesn't support old-world machines. In general, you'll probably find a distro release that is 3 or more years old will install more smoothly on an oldworld machine. Also, you may need to make boot floppies. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

NeoOffice works fine and would be well worth $100. Get that, and use the money on a RAM upgrade. NeoOffice requires no tinkering at all.

You can use bootX, but I am not sure how to get it to work so it starts installing. Plus I need to partition the machine ...
