Will this install on a PPC Mac-Mini?

Postby jonathankonrad » Sat Jul 25, 2009 1:45 pm

Before I start on this journey, I'm woundering if anyone has installed Amahi on a G4 PPC machine? I currently have that Mac running ubuntu 9.04 and I have it setup with LAMP, Samba, Webmin, and squid. It's still not quite perfect as a home server, but not a bad use for an old Mac.

This setup looks very nice and Fedora of course has a PPC version. So .... will Amahi work on a G4 PPC box? Thanks,

Jon

welcome!

i'm pretty sure one of our users (spatialguru) has his HDA running on a Mac Mini, however, i think it was intel based.

if you try the ppc version, do let us know how it goes. considering how we had to tweak a few things for 64 bits (vs 32), i would venture to guess that it may require some low level tweaking/hacking.

Amahi on a Mac Mini was good. Intel only.
