You cant install it on a G5 because they are not intel...afaik.
You can install linux on a fucking router, on anything you can compile for, intel is not a limitation.

No just DD-WRT, or tomato
Sucks to be you, works fine for the rest of us.
It isn't that I really need it, but as I said, I like to tinker with shiny toys...
When you really have an out of the box working edition, PM me....
P.S.S.: Why is it the user's fault when the OS sucks??? Me thinks machines are for the people and not the other way around...
Syzygys I'll give you a tip
Go kindly screw yourself! This is my thread about TRYING to love Linux, but it is a bastard baby, and gives back shit in return. If you don't like the thread, go and fly a kite!
You know, ignorrant and arrogant guys like you and Electric give Linux a bad name. Instead of trying to help, you talk down to the possible users. That's why Linux NEVER will be for the masses, because it is for virgin geeks, who like to tinker hours installing some hardware's driver or such.
Once you guys can make an OS that actually works with the hardware of the would be user without shitting bricks first, there will be some actual point in using it. Untal that it is a nice shiny toy only...
By the way it isn't just my opinion, but the majority of rational people, here you go read about it:
http://digg.com/linux_unix/You_don_t_need_to_know_Linux_to_use_Linux
Here is the first post but there are dozens in that thread: (Pretty much the same opinion and experience like mine)
"You don't need to 'know' Linux to use Linux... as long as someone that DOES know it is there to help you when you want to do something new. Don't get me wrong, Linux is great for a lot of situations. It would be ideal for my parents, who do nothing but browse and send e-mails. But I tried to install it on my girlfriend's (old, decrepit) Dell laptop to try and speed it up a bit.
The trackpad never fully worked, despite me spending hours with Synaptics drivers- the scroller bits on the side never activated, sometimes it didn't wake up after sleep... in fact, getting it to sleep when you closed the lid was a nightmare as well. She tried to install a bittorrent app, but Firefox wouldn't automatically open .torrent files (it took me hours to coax it into doing it), and when she sent an OpenOffice document to the computer labs to print it out on Word, it was messed up.
Basically, you can't install Linux on a friend's laptop and walk away. As soon as they want to do something new, they'll be calling you.
(I tried all this about a year ago with Ubuntu. I'm not saying things haven't changed since then, but I've been sufficiently burnt by my experience that I can't be bothered to try again any time soon)"
P.S.: Now you could make the point that Linux does work with plenty of brands, and that is fine. but the would be users should be aware that their hardware might not be fully compatible with the OS.... Oh but that would be rational!![]()
Hey smart Linux guys! How can I edit the Grub loader so XP would be the default choice?
