Do you have any suggestions for my problem
Heres my problem : I need an OS to install. I have a 450MGz with 256MBs of ram. What would be the best os (Linux recommendations would be fine too)Maybe if you stated what your problem is...we could provide some suggestions.
- If your problem is that you do not have Mac OS 9...look on e-Bay for it.
- The thread title says, "Good OS for Powermac G4". This is a different problem than "I do not have Mac OS 9."
If this is the case/problem...it would help to know what the cpu speed is of your Powermac G4...since the OS recommendation will be different. Could be OS 10.3, 10.4, or 10.5. But in any of these cases...looking on e-Bay will solve the problem (because this is where you will find them for sale).
So please clearly state what the exact problem is...

First off I do have harddrive and ram lying around (funny how that works) and I'm willing to pay to get it running. I may just run powerpc Ubuntu on it instead of spending money, I really don't knowOne more FYI. It's going to cost you wayyy more to get this computer running than the computer is worth. This computer is worth maybe $20-$25 bucks (maybe).
Unless you have ram & a hard drive laying around collecting dust...the cost of ram, a hard drive, and the OS...will easily cost you $100-$125 (for a $20 dollar computer).
Sometimes free is not always free.
