While your G5 may be outdated compared to newer Macs, the internet is still your friend and very accessible. Thanks to great open source projects and other utilities, the web is wide open. You'll find recommended web browsers and other applications below. For apps that are free, consider supporting them with donations or notes of gratitude to keep them available for the foreseeable future for our G5 machines.

Research in that department continues. 1 Run the following command to search for the most current and appropriate 32-bit SMP PPC kernel within the Debian repositories.

http://powerofpowerpc.blogspot.com/2015/06/updates-aliases-and-network-no-nos.html
Friday, June 12, 2015. Updates, Aliases, and Network No-Nos.
