Is there an Ubuntu for this old a machine? I'm running Mac OS X 10.2.8 w/640Mb Ram It seems that Mac destroys all their old software as soon as another version of OS X comes out. (I know Ubuntu...

Used to have some friends in Wilmington; I lived in Carolina Beach for several years and ran a Windows-based BBS there.

Glad to see someone from my old stomping grounds.

Has anyone been able to set up and run Ubuntu on this setup? I have a Power Macintosh G3 266Mhz, 6Gb HD, floppy, Zip.

Do I stand a chance in making it go??

Thanks

How do I go about finding the proper drivers for my two printers? They are being accessed via Samba on my ******* machine, but the drivers for the actual printers are not listed, and one of them will...

Please pardon what may be a terribly stupid question, but how do I know if the machine I have is a 32bit or a 64bit?

nope, that didn't work either. I'm beginning to think there is something about the hardware that is NON-Linux compatable.

Nope, that was one of the first ones I was advised to install, and even it doesn't work.

Thanks

Went through all as instructed. Still nothing happening.

Already did that-still nothing.

Either one would be nice-I've tried playing a DVD directly in the DVD player, and I've tried copying one that was copied to disc and playing it. Nothing happens...

Well, I have downloaded and installed 4 different sets of codecs, 3 movie players, and still cannot view movies.

lshw -C video gives me this:

I'm new to Linux, so I don't know what those are or how to get them.

I've been trying to get the "built-in" DVD player to work, but cannot get the codecs for it. It goes through a download and install procedure, but nothing works.

I have a LiteOn DVD/CD...

Sorry, I had forgotten that I had posted this already earlier.

This is kinda off-beat, but I've been using Radmin in my local network, and now that I'm running a Linux machine, I'd like to know if there is an Radmin "do-alike" for Linux.

Well, now it's doing the same thing with 8.04-1 as with 9.04. Grainy screen and system lockup. I'm beginning to think my computers are hexed

According to the lspci, this is the video info:

How do I edit xorg.conf to make my video card/monitor work at 1024x768?

Nope, all that, and no change.

Highest resolution I can get it 960x600. It's a 17" standard (old-style) monitor, so everything is so big, the dialog screens will not all fit in the screen.

I get a warning:

I just installed Ubuntu 8.04-1 on a machine, and the video and audio are not working properly. The video will not reach it's fullest resolution, and I cannot make the audio what it's supposed to.

I just compiled an application, and now I need to know how to get it to run every time the system reboots. I also see it has to be run as root.

Thanks

I have the original ******* drivers. How do I use them to make the hardware (sound card, video card, etc.) work properly?
