| There is a distrubution of Ubuntu linux for the PowerPC, it is pretty current. I have it as a secondary boot option on my powermac g4, and it runs fine. your tibook will run up to mac os x 10.4.11, natively. so you could download the ubuntu powerpc edition, burn it to a cd, and boot from the disk. but if you want to have two operating systems, ubuntu wont show up under "Startup Disk", you will have to hold the option key while booting, and select Linux, Or Mac OS. Good Luck, Chris |
