Hello everyone! I have been trying for a very long time to get java 6 at LEAST on my friend's PowerMac G5 running Mac OSX Leopard. But, I haven't found much on it, If anyone can help me, I'd very much appreciate it! I've tried installing Lubuntu, And I'll try that again soon. Also, I haven't found a functional Virtual Machine for his machine, if you know of one, Please tell me. Thank you for reading!

I believe we've had this discussion before. PPC computers will not install Java 6 updates properly. It's only avaiable for Intel x86 architecture.

 

As for Linux distro's that run on PPC, you can try Mint as an alternative to Lubuntu which I believe is the only linux distro that will run on PPC computers.

Well, People have done it before by compiling certain java or openjdk versions. But I haven't been able to do that exactly. Lubuntu does run on PPC computers still by the way, But thank you.
