Funny coincidence; I just installed the PPC version of that exact OS on an iMac (Rev. D - Grape) I just came across:
![]() Runs a lot better than OS X did on it, that's for sure. A lot more usable too, IMHO. I'm biased though, as I despise MacOS (sorry Mac fans). -AT

Hi guys. I plan to build my first Linux machine using an "old" MSI board. It's a Neo KN8 with Nforce3 250gb. It's gonna be an Athlon 64 3200+ with 1 gig of memory and a used but excellent ATI9600xt. I'll put in 2 80 gig SATA drives and a DVD CD/R combo and a DVD Writer. My question is: Will I need specific drivers for this setup, or will "Ubunto" install drivers by itself? By the way, the major use for this PC is audio conversion (wav/cda to MP3 for our cellphones), spreadsheets and text/word applications. I have never ever tried Linux before, but I hear so many good things about it that I think its time to take the plunge. Thanks for your usual prompt reply.

It's not too hard, but it does add another step to the process and I can't speak for the stability/performance in Linux because I don't buy nForce-chipset motherboards. In any case, we'll be around to help you out. ![]() All the best, -AT
