Gang,
I have a recent (non-Intel) G5 iMac.  I also have an Airport Extreme

homework/internet etc. No big requirements for gaming or anything like
that, standard Office accessories used, nothing really fancy, but ...

I'm looking to install Ubuntu linux on my iMac G5 (last G5 iteration -
1.9GHz, 1.5GB ram, X600 pro). However, when I put in the CD and press
'c' to try to boot from it, the system's screen goes white and the fans
go to full power. After a bit some text appears as if the distro is

I've heard Dell flatscreens on Macs may pose problems, especially using
 DVI. I have a 17" Dell analog-only on my G4; works fine.
After this weekend I expect to have either a Geforce3 or ATI Radeon 7000
in my G4, but may later shop either a MacMini or a MacIntelMini, and

 Okay peoples. I got it for Father's Day. Any tips or things I should
know before I start setting it up?

Does anybody have a site to do successful people searches?

the person, then says -- on teh same page -- that the information is
available at . . . When I click that link it goes to a pay site -- the

For my aforementioned APPLE "PowerBook 540c" computer -- it's
recommended that I use "System 7.5.5" *max 'cause "System 7.6.1" [which
is what's currently on it] is really a stopgap to "System 8" and not

I have DSL with Verizon and they supplied a Westell VersaLink 327W
router, with wireless. Everything wireless is fine with my Aluminum
PowerBook and my brother's iBook, but I cannot get an old, domed iMac
to work wirelessly. I recently bought and installed a used Airport card
