    My name is, my name is, my name is, BigTexBri!!

    Stole that one from Marshall Mathers, ha!

    My name is Brian, I live in Wichita Falls, Texas, so HOWDY!!!

    I have a small computer company here, we do service, repair, new builds and network setups. Just opened the doors so I have some time on my hands.

    Been setting up Linux on a bunch of old Macs that followed me home from an auction, to see what the OS can do with a machine designed for Unix. Anyone have any suggestions or thoughts let me know, always on the lookout for good advice. In the same vein, anyone having problems with setting up any Linux OS on an old Mac give me a holler, I have quite a collection and wouldn't mind poking around on one of mine if it would help you out.

    See you in the forums!!!

    Brian

    I guess we'll have to take your word that you're the real BigTexBri. Though in retrospect I don't see that being a terribly popular moniker. Welcome.

    How old are these Macs you're talking about? PowerPC-era or 68K? Did they come with any software? Just curious.

    Got a bunch of iMacG3's, some eMacs, G4 towers and iMacG4s at a school district auction, all of the harddrives had been wiped so instead of getting a zillion licenses for OSX10.? I thought I would put Linux on all of them and see what they could do. I am very impressed with Linux so far, Debian is the only distro that likes the G3 so far, the eMacs and iMacG4's like Ubuntu so as you might imagine I am having big fun in Linux-land!!!

    I you have any tips I could sure use them. If you have run into probs with any of these boxes, I have plenty to practice on, we might just come up with a solution.

    Nice to meet you, by the way.
