    PowerMac G5 Linux Support.

    Unfortunately my G5 has been nothing but trouble since I started to use it again, I put a fresh install of Leopard on it to start with but it was kernel panicking left, right and centre.

    Bringing a G4 Cube back to life

    I've got a entirely disassembled Cube. It was my first ever Mac and I couldn't bring myself to bin it. I tore the whole thing down and the parts have been sitting in a box (indoors) for years, presumably they still work.  It's got the rarer 500Mhz CPU and an BIOS flashed nVidia 6200 (I...
