[Ubuntu-be] Fwd: Ubuntu-be.org: vraag van een potentieel ubuntu-gebruiker

[Dieter Vanderfaeillie]

Hi

I have an iMac G3 to. I also tried to install ubuntu on it. It works.. But  
I would not recommend it.
Ubuntu on an iMac G3 is pretty slow.

I don't live near Vilvoorde/Kampenhout so i cannot help with the  
installation.
All i can say is, if you want to start the live cd you have to press "c"  
on the keyboard while booting.

However i did some tests at home, and edgy (PPC version) failed to start  
on my iMac G3 (400 mhz, 512 MB, 20 GB). Hoary Hedgehog booted up but was  
really unstable. I did not test the lastest unofficial feisty PPC version  
(yet). Support for an iMac G3 is not that good...

Conclusion, a PPC G3 is a bit to slow for an ubuntu install.

regards
Dieter
