[QUOTE="19birel, post: 1372940, member: 221361"] I have decided to turn my G4 into a backup server to store mainly Pictures and music files to keep excess files off of my MBP and to generally back up my important info. Currently It has Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 on it (this is the 996Mhz QuickSilver Tower) currently and my MBP has Lion though Mountain Lion is in the future once it launches. Would it be better to put the latest Ubuntu on it (can I even run that?) or just leave Tiger on it? This will be an offline server by the way, just something I will plug in when I need to backup or access files and then unplug when I don't need it. THanks [/QUOTE]
