What Linux for my old Mac G4?

[sastusbulbas]

Hi all,

I have dug out an old Apple Mac G4, dual processor with Firewire. I would like to install something like Ubuntu or Mint onto this, are these suitable or are there other alternatives.

I have both the above for standard PC, and they do not work with the old Apple I stick the discs in and nothing happens, where can I get a download which will install via CD and boot up without problems on the old Mac G4?

Cheers,
Steve

Hi guys,

Well I managed to get Ubuntu 8.04 running, but have ran into graphics problems, as it would not go above or indeed give any options for anything but 800+600.

I know its old ATI Rage is capable of 1680+1050 as I get that with my old Apple 10.1 OS

So far Linux is useless at such resolution, and 10.1 cannot support any usable web browser.
