Power PC, what to do...?

[casperjr]

Hello

I have got a cast off PowerBase machine, as far as I am aware it as a Power PC inside, running a Mac OS on it, OsX 7 I think.

I would like to reinstall some thing more user friendly such as Ubuntu.

The problem so far is that I cant get it to read from the CD first before the HD.

Can someone point me in the right direction

Thanks

I realise its an old machine.
I am sure that it could be put to some use, I have in the past had Windows XP running on a Pentuim II 133, slow but it did run.

Will have a look inside and find out what is in there.

The os loading screen appears really quick.
