Updates

I've had a couple of little projects going on here recently, that are tech related but not especially note worthy. I moved computers around in my home so I have a "lab" area, and an almost normal looking living room!

Besides that, I came across an old salvage rig late last week. It's an iBook G4, 800 mhz PPC processor with 800.change or RAM. It's original OS was 10.3.9.

I told a friend I'd help him out, the drive needed to be wiped, but I didn't have original CDs and wasn't able to locate one that I could download an ISO for, so, for some strange reason, I turned to Ubuntu. Turns out, they have a PPC release of 10.10! So I downloaded it, burned it onto a DVD (it's over 800 mb) and booted the old G4.

I was greeted with "old school" installation screens, and it guided me through the setup as easily as it always has.

I hope for a few more days (through the weekend) to have to play with this before I return it.
