I like Sun Micro Systems/Oracle's VirtualBox a lot. Especially, because you are able to run Ubuntu inside Mac OS. I am not a Windows user, although Windows 7 has great functionality, updated features...

Makes sense. Apple has been busy with lawsuits, lately. I find it interesting that both Mac OS & iOS start with a Unix Kernel, but end up with their proprietary OS for both.

Is the Ubuntu...

As for the Intel MacBook. I would stick to Mac OS 10.6 or 10.7.

As for Windows 7 & Ubuntu 11.04 Intel, you might want to check out Oracle/Sun Micro Systems VirtualBox for running both OS, within...

I respect your desire to move her over to Linux, but my question is why? Is she running an Intel or PowerPC Mac? With Mac OS Lion being so affordable on an Intel Mac, I would stay the Mac OS course....

How's it going?

Are we talking PowerPC or Intel Core Duo or Duo Core?

If you are looking for the best performance & familiar hardware, please choose Intel.

If you are willing to except some...

An unsupported, elder chipset, makes sense. Mac's have been running Intel chipsets for some time. As far as the PS3, that is up to Sony.

I have been an Ubuntu PowerPC user since 8.04 PowerPC. I...

Mozilla FireFox. I love Opera, but I am using Ubuntu 10.04.3 PowerPC.

As for my MacBookPro, Safari. Work HP Laptop IE 8.

I am routinely a "Default" Web-Browser type of End-User.

PowerBook G4 A1106

Ubuntu 10.04.3 PowerPC 2.6.32-33 PowerPC #72

It is a PowerPC Distro, so functional with lots of patience.

Thank You for the link. Not having Flash, I agree is missed when viewing sites with embedded video. I will try your suggestion. Gnash has not worked at all. I along with many others are anxiously...

I appreciate your research & time spent looking for Canon Pixma Drivers. Everything is for i386 or AMD64 Architecture, though.

I will just set it up as a Network Printer using CUPS. If no go, no...

One more thing.

Out of the numerous nosplash options. I would stick to Linux nosplash or /boot/vmlinux stuff. Those two choices are consistent. Hope that helps.

Peace Out

Linux nosplash actually executes the same Verbose Boot Screen as /boot/vmlinux stuff. So, both of those commands work. As for Xorg.conf edit, that would depend on which ATI Video Card each version...

Honestly, I only run Mac OS 10.6.7 on my MacBook Pro. Just curious your interest in running Debian Linux over Mac OS on an Intel Based MacBook?

I am totally cool with anyone trying Ubuntu, but I...

Thank You for taking the time to reply. Honestly, I just posted what worked for my PBG4 on 10.04.3 PowerPC.

Someone posted the /boot/vmlinux stuff suggestion in either xubuntu or lubuntu forum...

Are you a PowerBook G4 1.5/1.67 15.2" Ubuntu 2.6.32-33-powerpc user?
Have you had issues with the "Black Screen" before login, which never goes away, just displays a lot of color arrays?

In order...

Same issue as well. Since I have an a1286 MBP running Mac OS 10.6.3, I decided to use my a1106 PB G4 to run Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I was using Xubuntu 9.04 on my PS3, but I really just like to watch...

I have been using Xubuntu 9.04 on my 40gb PS3 for about a month. For basic web-browsing & e-mail, it is great. I tried Xubuntu 9.10, but it was much slower. So i switched back. Please note that you...

I downloaded the iso image for Power PC Ubuntu 8.04 & used Disk Utility in 10.5.8 (leopard) to burn the image to CD-R. It will let you try the Live CD & if that is working, proceed to install Ubuntu...

Thanks for the advice. I had already tried your advice prior to your reply. It always ends up with the "dpkg --configure -a" message, which takes forever & never fixes anything. It is just...

Same issue with AWN. I love the idea, but it was buggy. I use Cairo-Dock, it is awesome. It is available through System-Admin-Synaptics Package Manager or follow this very detailed site:...

As long as you only changed the "title" to Windows XP Pro or whatever you chose? Basically, when you boot into Windows, you obviously know you have the correct version because it no longer includes...

So you are able to get into grub. That is good. I had the same experience. Until I realized that you are able to edit your gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst. You may change the title of any of your OS...

My issue is with startup manager in 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. It used to work, but now when I try to launch it from system-admin-startup manager it does the "performing pre- configuration tasks" & never...
