Can Linux be installed on a Mac?

by dkeith45 . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

I have an old G4 powermac I got in a trade for a PC repair. It’s a decent system for an old timer with OSX Panther 10.3.5, 512mb of ram, a DVD drive and two hard drives. Problem is, Panther is so old at this point that it’s tough to find software that will work on it… and I’ve been unable to upgrade it because I don’t know the Admin password, nor does it’s previous owner, as he got it from a closed down trucking company.

So, I was wondering, is it possible to install a Linux distrib. like Ubuntu on it?

I have no idea, as I’m just this week toying with Linux which I’ve installed on a spare drive for my PC.
