Guest Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have an old mac mini at home and its not being used much since i got my mac book pro... I was just wondering if it is possible to install Ubuntu on the first gen mac mini's. From what i see online you need to have a intel mac mini. Other sources claim you can install it using the power pc version of ubuntu but i cant seem to find that on the official site. So... is it possible. Any help would be appreciated.
