You wanted it - you've got it! If you're looking for another operating system outside the Mac OS, give this one a whirl. This version of LinuxPPC (a Unix-type operating system) is much easier to get your system up and running in no time than past versions. Live does not have all of the software included in the full version of Linux PPC 4.0, and should be thought of as more of a demo. Any changes you make to the set-up will be lost when you restart your computer. Live allows you to boot up the system straight from the Mac OS without having to partition your hard drive. The system allows true multi-tasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, TCP/IP networking, and much more. A word of caution: If you have no idea what you're doing, we strongly advise not trying this until you do. To install: double-click “Boot LinuxPPC” and click the “Linux” button. For more info on Linux, visit the website. No tech support will be offered on this version. 'Nuff said. Requires a PPC (non-HFS Plus), 16 MB RAM, and 105 MB hard disk space. Will not run on an iMac or Blue G3s.
