/ppc/ general PowerPC Macs and other ppc computers

recently I rebuilt a nice G4/800 15'' with the factory 9.2.2+10.1.2 dualboot and it's surprisingly good considering how terrible support for early OS X versions is, the SSL everywhere meme gets old sometimes though since Camino doesn't support half of the algs anymore, but I can still shitpost so whatever

also finally got a cinema display for my G5s but I want an actually good G5 to pair with it now like a 2.5/2.7DP or a 2.3DC

AIOs seem like they'd make nice bridge boxes

Man those are sexy displays. I'd get one for my g4 but I can never find them for a decent price

If you have a Classic Macintosh there almost essential to getting anything over. Under OS 8 the drive will format ProDOS disks.
My misfortune is that my other classic Apple product is a IIgs with no 3.25" drive.

>>They're

this one was the first one I'd ever even seen outside of a fucking Apple store, felt pretty lucky on it, but the 20'' ones on eBay actually seem to go pretty cheap (like $60 total factoring in shipping) if you'd really like one to go with your system
wish I could hang it off of my iBooks, unironically considering shelling out the $65 for a G4 Mini to pair with it so I can have a more compact setup
yeah, linking up 68k systems to anything post-second coming is a fucking bitch
right now I do most of my bridge stuff on a StarMax and just hang systems off of it via PhoneNET or just load stuff onto external SCSI disks

Found my g4 before leaving for work, think the HDD is dead :( or is it some yaboot meme. I can't remember.
Also does anyone have a PPC thinkpad, how are they?

I've been using Tigrebrew and Macports as package managers on an 867MHz Powerbook G4. It's painfully slow to build anything, but it works. It took at least 4 hours to build Apple-gcc42, but I can use Lynx now. Are there any good graphical browsers for Tiger?

Try Classzilla in OS 9 under Classic mode, works with a lot more sites and is still semi-regularly updated.

I tried to get w3m running once cuz 104fox was so fricken slow. Couldn't get it or,in and didn't want to compile it.

>Are there any good graphical browsers for Tiger?

Tenfourfox
Classilla under classic mode

they built like three different families of PPC portables, the first were the Tadpole-engineered RS/6000 N40s running AIX and then the concept was revisited with the more home-grown TP 800 and 850 running AIX and NT probably as part of their half-assed effort to jump on the prosumer RISC+NT hype train along with the equally short-lived PC 800 series
they were cool but didn't sell well since they really didn't serve much of a purpose, IBM billed them as a solution for developers to work from airplanes and hotel rooms and for professionals like geologists to use as workstations out in the field, neither markets were all that big, now it's rare for even big dick collectors to come across them
Classilla actually seems to have the same issues with encryption algorithm support, but it's definitely still nice to use
you'll probably shit on me but honestly one of the main reasons I don't use Classilla exclusively is the icon just looks like shit in contrast with the polish of Aqua, with all other things working pretty much the same I figure Camino 0.85 aesthetically blends in way better

I'm might try w3m myself, but I'll have to pull a few dependencies, so it will take a while.
I've tried Tenfourfox, but it is pretty slow. Slower than Firefox on Leopard, I've found. It works, at least, so I'll keep using it if it's the best option.

Wrong board.

I love camino. I know it's a security risk (don't do anything important on this machine anyways). It's just so much faster. Too bad I can't even shitpost from it.

Since I use OS 8.6, I'm stuck with Classzilla

And before you suggest, I don't want to switch up to 9.

Does Camino not display Jow Forums? I used it a few years ago on an iBook G3 and thought it was good.

usually on G4 systems I'll run TFF with tandem some other older, less compatible but faster browser and pick based on which sites I want to hit

Classilla is always a solid choice, Camino is good if you want something more native, the JavaScript engine is still good enough to handle some common websites (and here, just turn off quick reply)

Has anyone done a SSD swap in a G3/ G4/ G5? Did it speed things up? My G4 is stupid slow and it's a 1ghz so I'm kinda at a loss

Found your problem.

do you have a problem with fags or something

Don't feed the trolls.

>defending gays
Spotted the mac fag.

Is TenFourKit still a thing? On Leopard Webkit is usually one of the best options for a browser. TFF can use Firefox extensions, though, which is a plus.

Why? Do you enjoy being fucked in the ass and scammed at every opportunity?

If your reason is "muh fruit brand", you can fuck off to .

There is no reason to use the proprietary fagOS operating system in our current age of existence. If your employer is forcing you to use proprietary software, you should seek an alternative or find a new job; they are oppressing your individual freedoms, which is tantamount to absolute subjugation to a company that will happily sell all your data to any government agency who pays/orders them to do so while putting on a fake act of resistance.

I've got w3m running now. It doesn't really have any advantages over Lynx, unfortunately.

Attached: rms.png (1014x654, 33K)

w3m does a way better job at formatting pages though, really in general it's nicer to use

Did you compile it?

This completely. Though tbqh, macfaggots should be retroactively aborted for being a waste of oxygen.

True, and it is easier to navigate pages with, although I'm more used to using Lynx.
Just built it from the Macports repository.

This is pure cancer. but it still feels nice somehow to see a classic meme template fuse with a new one.

Mactoddlers will defend this.

when are you going to get laid?

When your mom comes over to my condo for some fun this weekend.

This isn't a mac thread. Y'all are in the wromg neighborhood. This is a PowerPC thread.
Maybe you should try to be original instead of regurgitating the same arguments.

Pretty sure that's just common knowledge. Apple has been utter trash for decades.

What are you on about? I don't think you know what PPC architecture is.

Hey! I have an iBook G4 and a Powerbook G4. I want to run Debian 8 with XFCE or LXDE on them, but is there anything more easy? I know Gentoo supports PPC but there is not much out there now that is both up to date and as easy as Debian. Debian 9 does not even exist for PPC. I'm pretty sad about it because almost all my PPC rigs use Debian.
I plan to speed them up too, by replacing their hard drives with CF cards.

Honestly MacOS 10.4 is the best for them. Perfect hardware support and you'd be surprised at the software available if you dig.

>I don't think

I honestly liked having the Debian repos a lot more.

Thanks for letting me know.

I just seem to enjoy the machines built when Jobs wasn't running jack shit.

hence the IIgs and the 5500.

Was that a joke? Or did you fall asleep on your keyboard?

>noose
I don't think you know what that means, user.

>I don't think
Fuck I can do it too.....

You can run Ubuntu on them with LXDE, other than that you could run OpenBSD or MorphOS.
How much RAM do you have in your laptops? For 1GB and under I'd definitely suggest you use i3, rather than XFCE or LXDE. I run Debian with i3 on my Thinkpad R50e and it is much faster and lighter than XFCE.
I couldn't get Debian to run on my Powerbook G4, I think it was due to the Nvidia graphics. I'm using Tiger now and it is still quite usable, so unless you need up to date software that is also an option.

not think? that’s pretty obvious

Fun fact: I once wished freescale would bankrupt. Guess what happened? They got bought by NXP.

I hate them (from now on NXP as well) with a real passion.
arm must destroy them into oblivion for justice.

I've been thinking I don't think for a while. Actually, I haven't been thinking that. I haven't been thinking at all. Thanks user, you really helped me. Is it really obvious I don't think? Clearly you do with such a clever response. Clearly you don't sit at home browsing all day, masturbating, giving yourself ED. No, with such a clever response on a thread you have no interest in, clearly you do think.

It does? I have not been able to find it anywhere on the Debian website.
I thought ubuntu stopped supporting them when Debian did.

Yes, but only 64 bit powerpc

Lubuntu 16.04 LTS still supports PowerPC.

Yes yes, gooooooooood. Keep using the same lines you've been taught user. Soon you will assimilate completely and become just like every other Jow Forumsentooman.

Oh shit, thanks.

Does anyone know where Snapz Pro X 2.3 can be downloaded?
