Powerbook G3 (Old World) Ubuntu Install

James bought a PowerBook G3 to the January 2006 HantsLUG meeting and wanted to have Ubuntu installed on it. I used to be familiar with Apple Mac computers in the mid to late 90′s because the company I worked for used Macs exclusively on the desktop, so I decided to give it a whirl. I kept some notes in the following article.

The bottom line is that this old PowerBook G3 is now running Ubuntu Hoary 5.04 quite happily and I will soon be phone James to arrange for him to pick up his computer :-)

    I have recovered my old article and created a new page for it. The link in the blog post has been updated.
