iDerf2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Yellow Dog Linux would probably work best, I know it works on some older machine such as that.

MacRetail Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) Xubuntu should work, but i don't know if it supports such old Macs. edit: you should download the AlternateCD, because the Desktop CD requires 196Mb RAM to install, and the AlternateCD requires only 64MB RAM to install. After installation, Xubuntu needs only 64MB RAM to run. Also, make sure you download the PowerPC version. Download Xubuntu here Edited December 23, 2006 by MacRetail Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36594-best-linux-for-a-g3-mainstreetwallstreet/#findComment-260434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
