It was already a year ago that I bought my iMac G3 computer. I got very excited about it because I love computers, in special Macintosh ones. I bought my iMac G3 without software. There was no any Macintosh operating system in it, so, as soon as got this machine in my house I started looking for some GNU/Linux distributions to install in it.
I used to keep some Ubuntu discs that Canonical sent me in the past months. I tried the version 6.06 but it didn’t work in my iMac, so, I decided to look for an older version of it. I found the pocket of Ubuntu’s version 5.04 and I placed the “live-CD” in the nice cd-rom unit. I started my iMac and it booted the live cd. It was a very strong workload to my 256 Mb of RAM, but, I was able to check that Ubuntu was working fine.
These Macintosh machines are pretty advanced in hardware, so, I upgraded it by installing a new hard drive. As soon as I completed this task I installed Ubuntu 5.04. It was a matter of a few minutes to be running Ubuntu in my iMac.
