Sorry about the stuff up with the forwarded message... Yeah, I never used Virtual PC, by that time I had gone over to Linux on the PC side of things, and when I got an Intel 2006 model Macbook, it rendered the point moot. I used Parallels, then VMWare on the Macbook. But as I said, I do remember a friend using Virtual PC to run Windows 98 on a G3 iMac - terribly slow if I remember correctly, but it did run. Of course, as with any virtualisation, you'll want to max out your RAM first, just in case. VMs love RAM for breakfast. On 15/03/2013 6:36 AM, "George Zolla" <gazolla@san.rr.com> wrote:
Shane, Virtual PC was before I go into Macs. I dis see a place you download di tat:

If you already have the PowerPC you have nothing to loose. If you want, I could check with a friend of mine who has a PowerPC Mac Mini and see what he thinks. He has his own computer consulting business and is very good.
BTW - I bought my intel based mini on eBay for not much more than a PowerPC min.

What about Virtual PC? I seem to remember it back in the G4 days... On 15/03/2013 6:15 AM, "George Zolla" <gazolla@san.rr.com> wrote:
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.
