but only managed to get the front opening uncovered and a rain shield installed. Better than nothing as it did cool off a bit afterwards.

More needs to be done but will have to be taken in small bites and spaced out a bit at a time. Had hoped to get a fan installed in the qhut

Another sick day at home. Got a few small things done in between sitting/laying down.

Rain just started. Another day of no rain forecast. Not really complaining as it seems to be cooling things off a bit.

I’ve used that were MUCH newer. For the moment am gonna take a liedown as am still quite under the weather. Till later folks… 😉

BTW the last several posts have been from IceWeasel on the iMac. Bit of a lag on screen when typing but no worse than some Windo$e boxen

Guess I’ll get a 1/2A 3.6v battery for it and put it back together for use as an extra backup machine.

Not doing bad at all for a machine this old. And interestingly enough have a higher screen rez than Ubuntu ever attempted to show.

And only had to tweek the xorg.conf file a little to get it going. Then installed XFCE and am online at a reasonably fast speed.

Not sure what they have screwed up in X under Ubuntu but tis royally screwed. Did a basic install under Debian with Gnome

And now after fighting with Ubuntu and it’s ilk for 3 days have got Debian up and running on the G3 iMac in about 2 hours.
