How do I install Ubuntu on my iBook G3?

Question

How can I download Ubuntu on my PC, burn it to a disk, and install it on my iBook G3?

Solution

For an iBook G3, which has a PowerPC CPU you need the PowerPC port of Ubuntu. I believe the latest release that supported PPC is 10.10, and would probably be better off with 10.04 (since it has LTS support).

The ISOs can be found here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/ And the image needed would be the powerpc images.

Thank you for correcting me, I was not thinking about this when writing my answer. My apologies.

No worries, William :-) Just didn't want the OP to get confused and/or frustrated.

[William]

Agreed. First-time impressions are big.=)

@William if your answer isn't useful you can always just delete it!

I know, but the answer is still helpful to those who don't know how to install Ubuntu on a standard, 32-bit machine.

@JaysonRowe when replying to someone else's answer please use a comment, instead of another answer. Your answer is fine otherwise.

@William even if it helps others, it will not help those coming to this question. Use the answer for another question where it is correct.

@JaysonRowe you should revise this answer to just answer the question . A pointer to the right ISO will hopefully be just what the OP needs.

[Jayson Rowe]

Answer revised - sorry for the confusion.

I will delete my post. First I want to save my answer somewhere, because it might be useful for someone else. I have to get to my computer to copy stuff, then I'll delete this post. Sorry for any confusion.
