So it's been a long time since I ran Classic, even though I have a PowerMac G4 dual 1Ghz MDD "Wind Tunnel" sitting right next to me with 10.4 installed. That being said, it's IDE so any SSD would have to have a conversion from SATA to IDE probably.Ĭharlie don't surf":36uo6ygb]OK I stand corrected about Rosetta. I suppose if you had a small cheap SSD and put swap on the SSD you'd have some sort of "poor mans" memory that would significantly help things along. It's freaking HARD to get ANYthing running on it, BUT if Windows XP can run on it why not Linux? sure 256MB is tough but maybe. ![]() In my original post I mentioned doing it without having to re-compile.Ī more involved test would be the "pull out all the stops" idea of getting a usable version of Linux by "any means possible" including gentoo and re-compiling/optimizing everything (which would probably mean compiling for 2 weeks!).Ī particularly vexing situation I've seen is the old celeron e-machine my wife's parents have sitting idle because it can't upgrade from WinXP. Since we are just talking about web browsing and email, one of the BSD's would probably work better. ![]() I stuck with PPC for ages, my last PPC was a PowerMac G5 Quad 2.5Ghz and my first Intel Mac was my current Mac mini mid-2011. I run it headless, I can run it remotely with screen sharing from Back To My Mac. See you in about 12 hours.Ĭharlie don't surf":2knwwvk7]OK I stand corrected about Rosetta. I have a 10.4 install DVD but it won't boot due to EFI problems.I might fiddle with UNetbootin to override. There aren't many seeders, it looks like this will take about 10 hours. It is not hard to find a bootable MacOS X 1.4.8 Tiger VMware image, I'm downloading it right now. I am going to prove whether or not you can run Classic PPC apps in a VM. Unlike almost everyone on the internet, I know when it is time to put up or shut up. I have Sheepshaver running on my Mac mini, it runs but it is basically useless since it won't run graphic-intensive games like Carmageddon. ![]()
