Hi all,
I hope this is the correct place to post this.
I recently got a free PowerBook G4 Mac laptop off a friend who no longer uses it. It comes with OS X Tiger, which is fine, but slow, and a little outdated when it comes to internet browsing. Can someone recommend me a light distro that will work with it? And point me towards instruction to get it installed on a Mac?
My concern is that, especially as a complete Mac noob, I'll get into difficulty and make a mess of the laptop trying multiple distros until I find one that works / has compatible drivers etc.
I've have experience with Puppy Linux on PC as well as Mint. Would these work on this machine? I'm a relatively non-tecnical user though, so something easy to set up would suit best.
Thanks all!
