I kept getting errors with OpenSUSE. Once it came to the part where it would format the drive, it dumped right into the Shell. I said "Screw it!" and went back to 10.4 on the machine. At least it's easy to work with

I wanted to try linux, but I am NOT going to jump through hoops just to get it to even start. My friend's iBook G4 1.2GHz will boot from the discs, and even switching out the DVD-ROM for a CD-RW or DVD-+RW, it won't boot from the discs. I have no idea why, but I am not going to mess with it for a while. When I tried to get it to boot from OS X, i couldn't get it to recognize the SATA drive in it to boot from it (I have a Sonnet PCI->SATA Adapter Card) and I ended up letting it sit till tonight where I finally gave it a good overhaul and can say it is happily up and running.

I wasn't expecting to have to do a crap load of stuff just to coax it into booting, so I am going to stop with Linux for now. Besides, schoolwork is calling and I need to get onto that
