Hi. Complete newbie. After 10 years on macs I'd love to swich to Ubuntu, mostly for the spirit & code of conduct.
I have not yet worked on Linux but want to load up Lucid Lynx on my 2 macs, but unfortunately they are both powerpc: desktop G5 and laptop Powerbook G4 titanium (old beast).
I have downloaded a bunch of times the first .iso link on this page (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.04/release/)
then burned to cd both with mac disk utility and Toast, but the cd's do not boot on either computer: I restart pressing C, hear that the optical drive starts reading but stops after 2 seconds and then regular OSX boots up.
Am I doing something wrong or is the .iso falty?
Thanks in advance.
