My old 2008 Mac Pro is back in service. I missed having a full desktop especially this one using the Apple Display HD 23" monitor. All early 2000's hardware.

Due to the old slow USB1 speeds, it would be painful to install Linux directly. (I tried before with Fedora) I installed it on an external drive and installed it into the Mac Pro.

                                These were, as you might suspect, not big sellers, but they did save lives.

                                now sells consumer devices that have satellite EPIRBs, and shitty software that activates them without cause.

Time to partition this old iMac's hard drive and install Linux. The desktop will speak more easily with the Linux laptop then too.
