Linux on mac?

Question

Is there anyway to run linux on a mac. I have a mac with os 9. It's decent. But Want to be able to play movies and all do more on it. So the question is is there a way to get linux to run on a mac.

Answer 1

run a livecd first to see if you like the Linux operating system. Here is one to try Ubuntu LiveCD - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD

Answer 2

Yes download and burn a linux "live" disc...Now put it in you computer and reboot...you may have to alter the bios to set the cd drive to first boot priority.

Answer 3

Above is technically right,  but ill explain it properly.

Go to ubuntu.com or a linux distributor, just google it. Ubuntu is most well known. Download the ISO file, dont try and open it,  just burn it to a CD which you should know how to do.

turn off the computer, turn back on and choose the setup facility/bios, this on a computer is like  F2 or something, dunno about on a Mac, then change boot sequence to CD before hard drive, and it'll install
