Just something with the best support for web surfing. It's kind of a shame to trash a G5 with 4GB RAM but MacOS is a no go at version 10.5.

Runs very well on my G5 iMac. After trying 5 different distros including Yellow Dog and Lubuntu I went back to 10.5 and TenFourFox. Linux acceleration is non existent so OSX seems best but man, that G5 seems slower than I remember. Oh well. Maybe I'll hack the poo poo out of the case or something. I bet this stupid thing will never die. It comes from the era when Apple made good stuff. quote:Having said all that you'd probably be better off just dumping it and getting a cheap, low powered Celeron-based computer. Even the newer Chromebooks (with the Celeron 2955U) are roughly equivelent in power to the G5. CPUs have come a long way in a decade. Good point. This is mostly me being stupid and trying to find a use for it. I have plenty of computers. redeyes fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Jan 21, 2015 |
