What can I do with an old Power Mac G5 ?
(lemmy.world)
Hey,
I have an old Power Mac g5 gathering dust at home, and I was asking myself:
"What can I do with this old man ?"
I first thought of just taking the case, but it's not optimal to build a PC :P
It is also too much power consuming to make it a sever.
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks !
Years and years ago when I had one and Apple had stopped supporting - I got a copy of Linux and installed it and ran a Minecraft server for a while on it.
Unfortunately, not many linux distros support PowerPC and Minecraft is now way to heavy for this old hardware...
Thanks Microsoft
Yeah that figures especially on the latter. It has been a few years since I tinkered with it.
