Apr. 9th, 2006 02:13 amToday was quite lazy really. Watched Grave of the Fireflies and Totoro with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
banhe & TEP, had a barbeque, drank energy drink, got mentally over-stimulated and decided to install Linux on something.
6400 had BeOS on, so wasn't going to mess it up, even if BeOS seems inherently messed up on it anyway.
6500 had no OS or HD, 8.5 spat out, 9.2 wouldn't load at all.
Tripped over the G3 Colin gave me, and stuck Ubuntu 5.10 on it.
If anyone ever, ever tries to argue that Linux is 'as easy as installing Mac OS/Windows', I am going to be too busy laughing to argue. However, it does appear to be working and I even got the command-line tweaks right to mount hfs and so forth. It's still doing the last bits of install, but it's booting Linux, from the HD, and hasn't caught fire yet; I consider this progress.
