Ever since then I've been curious about this Ubuntu Linux. I'm okay with OS X, but I do love a new toy and Ubuntu looks like a great new toy. With a new version of Ubuntu announced recently I thought it was high time I installed Ubuntu and gave it a hands on trial. My options are as follows, I could install Ubuntu under Parallels on a new MacBook or I could install the PPC version of Ubuntu natively on an old G3 iBook. I would prefer to run Ubuntu without the virtualization of Parallels just so I know that any problems I might have are not connected to the virtual environment. But at the same time, a PPC G3 processor is pretty outdated and I don't know how Ubuntu performs on PPC chips, let alone ancient ones like my iBook. If you have experience with either set up and can offer any tips or recommendations let me know in the comments section below. And *please* let's not let this degrade into an OS superiority contest. I like OS X, I like Windows and I want to like Ubuntu. Every operating system has its merits and weaknesses and none is better than the other, they're just different mmmkay?
