The ...You should try the various ubuntu mixes too. The fixes that MintPPC has 'built-in' are very well documented and take literally seconds to implement in other debian-based distributions. The MintPPC interface is pretty basic, if you want shadows and transparancy then it is not for you. If you have a G3 then I recommend lubuntu (it's far less bloated than MintPPC so quicker to load), a G4 xubuntu, and G5 will easily run standard ubuntu or kubuntu. This post explains how to install them http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1798792 . It also contains a lot of fixes missed by MintPPC!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749559194818088720.post-82669649821614605432011-09-09T12:44:36.550-07:002011-09-09T12:44:36.550-07:00For what it's worth, VLC has been broken for m...For what it's worth, VLC has been broken for me on every Debian Squeeze derivative. Mplayer, too. I thought maybe someone forgot to compile these to run on G3s, but if you're having problems, too...<br /><br />I've been using Totem and xine-ui instead.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700474277267739107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749559194818088720.post-77484022571364899712011-09-08T22:07:46.454-07:002011-09-08T22:07:46.454-07:00mintPPC continues to impress.

MintPPC 11 looks like a clone of th Linux Mint 10 install on my core duo Dell Latitude, now my "main machine", ie the one I use if I absolutely positively have to watch Flash. One tip: don't run the updater from the menu bar, I did and a bunch of PPC Debian crap got installed and broke VLC,open a file and get a black screen,audio but no video. I've tried everything I can think of and google'd it for solutions and nothing works, will likely just have to do a clean install.dr.davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886698961408263795noreply@blogger.com
