vhansen (1189) | 3 years ago | Yes,it is.BUT that's why I picked Ubuntu.According to the Pure Mac site under Alternative OS,it will also run on a G3.The reason I wanted to put it on is because the Panther install on it is messed up.I bought it used and didn't give much which means no install dics.I had the Ubunto so I thought I'd give it a shot.

| | 2. blueman (7005) | 3 years ago | i know how to install linux on a windows platform but doesn't know much about mac, and i do not think it would be very different from how you install it, i think you should try booting with the Cd and follow the on screen instructions.

| | 3. dynaweb (127) | 3 years ago | You will have to get a program that partitions disk space. I dont know if MAC has one built in or not. The Linux CD will have one built in, but it MAY munch your MAC install, so best to use one from MAC first since you already have that one installed. Make a part that is 2GB for LINUX SWAP and one that is at least 4GB for the LINUX OS. Then run the livecd and install. For more specific help, open a new thread at http://www.linuxboards.org
