Vince, I echo Steve's comments. I just checked and everything I have found says that VMWare will not run on a G4 and the same for Parrallels VM software. My Mac Mini is an intel-based one.
I would recommend finding and old intel PC and use it just for AllStar or if you are adventurous by a used Mac Mini like I did, put Parallels on it and go!

Virtualization won't change the base hardware architecture. If your system is G4, you will not be able to run an Intel-based OS in a VM. George, I suspect your Mini has an Intel CPU if you are running AllStar.
That being said, it is possible to run Linux on a G4.

Vince, I am not sure if you can install it as a new operating system on your version of the Mac but I have Centos/AllStar running on a Mac Mini using Parallels in a Virtual Machine. It works great but it does add an extra level of complexity. If Parallels will work on your machine you should be able to do it.

Hello all. I would like to know if it will or can work. Can I install Centos on an old Mac Mini G4 to run Allstar.
