I have an Imac G3 another Mac SE an Apple GS and an Apple floppy (for the Apple IIe's in my cellar)on the way.
I'm a little curious about linux on the 68020/30's and PPC's I doubt if I'll bother with
Linux on MAC's but how easy was Ubuntu to install? I should check if MAC can run Ubuntu from a LiveCD? I know nothing about Macs. Can they boot from USB?
@maxpolaris99 Macs can easily boot up off of USB, you can also install the entire OS right onto an external device, unlike with a Windows installer. Ubuntu was incredibly easy to install on that G4, it's a bit different on EFI-based Macs though because of the bootloader. On my modern Macs, I just run Linux distros inside VM software. And yes, LiveCD is fully supported as well.
@Hildron101010 I just got my iMac G3 unboxed 5 mins ago. It looks nice. I scrounged up a usb kb and thmbtrck ball. Seems to be working fine. Ram? HD? CD? How2find out?
There appears to be a lot of fear and loathing in the Linux community over Microsofts direction in EFI booting, hopefully its unwarranted, time will tell. I just can't imagine Linux perishing from the Earth. What a sad day that would be! Do you have a suggestion on a particular distro to run on a G3 in Live mode.
@maxpolaris99 What version of the operating system are you using? I can then tell you how to find out your specs. I don't recommend using a Live mode for a G3, I would only recommend installing it on the HDD. However, I have not been able to successfully install a Linux distro on a G3 as of now.
@Hildron101010 Its 9.1 and I'm all set with that thanx. One thing bugs me. I put a Music CDR in and I can't find the app that is controlling it. A Front End with Stop Pause Play Track would be nice. If I click on a diff track in the CDR window I'm informed me I need OSX . I'm trying to find the controlling app that's playing the music so I can interact with it. Hey I've had the machine for about 2 hours now so I'm not expecting to know everything immediately..
@maxpolaris99 Linux on Macs is of course interesting to me but I didn't buy these machines to run Linux but to play with MAC OSs. Its a 10 GB HD 512MB ram and 500MHz 68030 I think. So yeah It could handle some Linux but its not a piority for me. I'm more interested in the Mac itself. I have plenty of PC's for Linux.
@romodrummerjz why does every one think it matters? all you win is the shame of being called an idiot and read gmoiasovghb87fa 's comment and irulethe70s 's comments for more shame. being first doesn't matter, i have actually been first before, and i haven't said that!
My school has an old Mac SE. Of course, no one can use it it's prett much just for show. Also a TRS-80 and an Apple II.

that must've cost a fortune.
If the latest macs cost over $1000 then the classic ones must cost somewhere in the hundred line?

Ok. I looked through the comments and the description, so it's justified. What is that catchy music?

@therock557 It's from a royalty-free music website. I'll have to get the specifics later. Last time I checked it, it was down.
