The Mac pismo took the alternate install. of Ubuntu 8.04. All ok until final second stage. Removed cd and booted but screen went scattered then faded- no graphical interface. I did want Xubuntu because of 400 MHz processor and 380MB Ram. Xubuntu said to be better on this old machine. I could not find Mac powerpc download for it so I tried Ubuntu 8.04 as suggested. I'm about to go back to OS 9 unless someone knows if Xubuntu (any) will work on the Pismo (firewire) and where to download the image. LiveCD + trial preferred, alternate if not. Thanks if anyone can answer.
