[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1503993, member: 182015"] I have a G4 tower that I've installed Debian linux on. Debian was the easiest to get installed, probably because of nVidia video driver issues. Your results may be different. I still have 10.4.11 installed, too. I don't see any speed difference. When using linux, I haven't experienced loss of internet (haven't actually heard complaints about this either). There are unavoidable issues, however. There is no modern browser for ppc. Newest Firefox variant is an independently compiled version - Tumuqumac (sp?) - like Firefox 4.x. There is no Flash Player for linux ppc. These two things make internet on ppc linux less than satisfactory. [/QUOTE]
