Hey guys,
I recently had the chance to pickup a power mac G4. Dual 1GHz CPU-1GB ram-80GB HD. It's currently running OS X 10.3.9 i believe. I was thinking of upgrading to a 200GB hard drive that i have laying around that i'm not using and also upgrading to OS X 10.5, along with more memory, if Leopard requires more.
I'm in the IT field and i've been using strictly Windows PC's so i've been using windows pc's my whole life...last mac i used was an Apple IIe, if i remember right...I've built several pc's but Mac's are new to me. But i always wanted one, since i hear nothing but great things about them
It looks like swapping out the hard drive is similar to a pc. What about loading OX X 10.5 after the HD install? Any commands i need to know to get into any settings? Boot from cd-rom? Thanks for any info!
