Hi everyone, I have the following Yellow Dog Linux which is a great start with Linux on a Macintosh (and even running Mac OS under Linux with the "Mac On Linux" emulator package):
$20 Yellow Dog Linux version 4.0 install+source CDs in box plus the user's manual which is invaluable $15 Yellow Dog Linux version 4.0 (just the install+source CDs) $10 Yellow Dog Linux version 2.3 in the original plastic CD case/box COMPATIBILITY NOTES: Works in all PPC/PowerPC Macs but for OldWorld ROM computers (systems older than iMac: e.g. beige G3, 8500s, Performa PowerPCs, and 7200s), you must use the BootX loader which requires Mac OS in order to function. So basically, you must have Mac OS installed as well, while with NewWorld ROM computers you can have just Linux installed. If you have any questions, just ask me, I'll explain how it works. * Note: you can download various Linux distributions from the internet, but there's a lot more involved into getting one onto a correctly-working bootable CD without corrupt files, and you also won't have hard copies of the manuals and the original discs themselves, which make things a lot easier during installation and usage. ============== Shipping: It's EXTRA. USPS or UPS (at cost). No handling fees or packaging fees (I try to recycle paper and boxes as much as I can, so it's not costing anything extra to me, the environment or you). Delivery confirmation/tracking will be usually included in the shipping price as it's important to know the item was delivered or where it's located. Warranty: None implied. However since I want everyone to be happy, if you have any trouble, let me know within 3 days of arrival and we'll work things out (I might be able to replace the item with a similar or at the worse case you return the item to me and I'll give you a full if it's my fault or a partial refund minus shipping costs and paypal fees). This doesn't apply to AS-IS items. Also note that I'll be keeping serial #s and detail photos of the items in case you're inclined to swap out parts before returning. Insurance: It's EXTRA (at cost), so if you want it, you have to 1) ASK for it and 2) you agree to deal with it. In other words, I will hand you all the information and you take it up with the carrier in case of loss or damage. I will NOT be held liable for lost or damaged packages, insured or not. I try to the best of my abilities to make sure nothing gets lost or damaged, but once it leaves my place it's out of my control, thus you will need to deal with insurance. Condition of items: Some of the items are brand new. If not stated they are likely pulls from working machines, therefore are functional to the best of my knowledge. I try to describe the items and their condition as best as I can so that there are no surprises. If you're super-picky then please ask for photos and I will send you some. Paying: Paypal because it's the safest and fastest way for the both of us. Paypal balance/debit/credit/eCheck/instant transfer will be accepted and applicable Paypal fees added on. If you absolutely must avoid using Paypal then I might accept a money order/cashier's check but first you must ask me. No personal checks of course. If you have an UNCONFIRMED Paypal address, please let me know ahead of time. Discounts: If you want more than one item, I'll try to consider a discount and ship in one package. Prices are not exactly set in stone, so I'm open to offers. I will also list items that I'm willing to trade for from time to time (either here or above). References: If you need references, please let me know and I'll ask some of my most recent swappers. There's also a group where people leave feedback, so please look there for references.
