@snake1250 Late reply, but I think that if you use a browser that supports HTML5, you can watch -SOME- YouTube videos on it (any video that show stupid ads, will not work because they're still viewed in Flash). Or you can try m(dot)youtube(dot)com , it's usually made for mobile phones, but any computer with media player supporting 3gp will work. That is also a good option for those who use slower Macs (since flash is a great way to make an older computer even slower). Good luck ;)

@oneboyphay does it work also with Ubuntu 10.10?

I read some where that there is no Flash support for PPC. can you run youtube videos on it?

You know, if you want to watch youtube on a powerpc based mac, the greasemonkey addon for firefox and various scripts from userscripts will allow you to watch youtube videos in the browser using either the totem or the mplayer plugin

Hold the 'C' key down on powerup, it should boot from the CD.

It would be easier to just make an ISO of the CD. I have to believe they are still on the Internet, even if they're not actively being produced anymore.

Games aren't the point, especially not on that hardware.
