How old does your hardware go?

| You can also run Linux on PowerPC-vintage Macs. Yellow Dog Linux, which is a
| Red Hat Linux spin-off, is probably the best Linux for giving your Blue and
| White Power Mac G3 or later a new life as a Linux desktop. You can also run
| Linux on 68K Macs, but here you really need to know what you're doing since
| there's little support for these processors. Your best shot at running Linux
| on an early Mac, Atari, or Amiga is to use the Debian port.
|
| Of course, you don't have to run Linux to get useful work out of your old PC.
| I'm still using CP/M-80 on my KayPro. I do find it amazing though just how
| much you can get out of ancient hardware though with Linux.

Even old Macs are saved by GNU/Linux because Apple cut PPC support.

| Of all the alternative operating systems, one stands out when it comes to
| great performance on lower-spec hardware - Linux.

| Those of you shaking your heads and turning the page, hold on. There are
| plenty of other options if you can't stomach Linux, but I can tell you right
| now they won't perform anywhere near as well as a well- tuned Linux setup, so
| bear with me for a moment.

| This laptop belongs to a good friend and she loved it when I told her that we
