Off-topic -- I acquired an iMac G5 (PowerPC) today. The previous owner put Linux on it. I want to go back to OS X 10.5 Leopard (it won't run anything newer). Unable to find any working online links to download the .iso file. Can anyone help?
I can help, but I would recommend Tiger (10.4) instead; it's faster, and it'll still run Classic (for running pre-OS X apps). The only benefit I can think of for 10.5 on PPC is Time Machine, but for a vintage machine, that's not much of a draw considering all the drawbacks. Leopard was a real stinker on PPC. - Dave
