I did install Lubuntu 13.10 on an eMac G4 years and years ago. It was pretty decent overall, but Lubuntu wasn’t as stable as Mac OS X Tiger (which is what it replaced), and it was a bit slower. When I get it out of storage, I will probably start over again with either OS X Panther or Mac OS 9.2.2.
You’ve got to admit that’s a really smart way for a syndicated cartoonist to deal with a tight deadline.
