Hi, I got ahold of a older i-mac, I think it is a g 3. Does anyone know of a version of Linux that includes Orca that will run on this. I tried ubuntu, but it just will not boot the system. Fedora installed, but then I got no sound, and it only boots every third or forth time. I thought one of you may have tried other distros, so am asking about this here. Thanks for any help, Mike.
Hi Mike, You will need a distro with a PPC architecture. Fedora has a PPC architecture, so does openSUSE. I, of course, recommend openSUSE :). Here is a link to openSUSE 11.0: http://software.opensuse.org/old/11.0 Be sure to select "PowerPC" or "PPC" for whatever distro you decide to download (assuming you are downloading). openSUSE 11.1 was just released last week and has some accessibility related issues that are still getting fixed. Thanks, Brian G. Merrell
