Hi, folks. I recently got my hands on a PPC iMac G3, 600 MHz, 768 MB ram machine.
16 MB video ram
256 MB backside L2 cache
I wanted to upgrade it from OSX to Dapper, after hearing that Dapper was the bomb for this machine. I used the alternate install disk. Worked just fine. Except....
Ttttthhhheeeee mmmaaaccchhhiiinnneee iiisss sssslllllooooowwwww.
Why does Ubuntu take 5 min to load? There is a lag from mouse input to mouse action of about 10 seconds. This is with no programs running.
I know Ubuntu should roar on this machine. How do I go about tweaking this baby?
