My mom just gave me some cool retro tech I never knew she had!
I think this iBook G4 was released in 2003? It was last updated sometime in 2007. Been in a closet for years. Still works!

Obviously, I have to discover if I can slap #Linux on it! I have zero experience with Macs of this era, OR Linux distros of this era.

@killyourfm Wrote my master's portfolio on one of those. I love the Mac app Textedit for some reason. But did most of the work in Linux (dual booted)

@deadlinux Neat! Do you remember which distro you were running? Yellow Dog? Debian? MorphOS?

@killyourfm I used a lot of Yellow Dog back in the day. Loved it - could've sworn they're no more, though?

But at that time it was probably Ubuntu PPC (back in 2005 so it was kinda cool then? lol)

@killyourfm @deadlinux I have a friend daily driving openbsd on one of those!
