![]() ![]() Hooray me.It really wasn’t that big of a deal, because I, like I said, prefer Linux/Ubuntu over any other OS out there. I managed to accidentally erase the OS X partition, and then without realizing I had done so, completely overwrote it with Lubuntu. So I tried to dual-boot Lubuntu and OS X Tiger (what was on it when I got it.) As such, I wanted to install Lubuntu on the iBook – both because I prefer Linux, and because I wanted better performance. Now, as you can probably tell from many of the posts on here, I’m a huge Linux/Ubuntu fan. So, I was able to get in, add a new user (my own) and continue using the iBook. Please note, this is not something I condone, unless you are breaking into your own Mac. Luckily, I had read a post by Lifehacker from their “Evil Week” regarding breaking into Macs. The person who sent it actually hadn’t used it in a long time and had forgotten their password – so I was left with a bootable – but unusable iBook. I originally recieved the mid-2005 iBook G4 from a relative as a Christmas present, Christmas 2013. I could go into more detail about the whole history of PowerPC CPUs and their uses, but that’s not what this post is about. ![]() Originally created in 1991 by Apple, IBM, and Motorola, the PowerPC architecture was originally created for personal computers and was/is best known for powering Apple computers from 1994 to 2006, before Apple transitioned entirely to using Intel processors.
