Is Ubuntu Linux a Sensible Alternative for Mac Users?

“A friend of mine phoned to ask if I thought he should install Ubuntu Linux on his Macs – a 1.33 GHz G4 iBook currently running OS X 10.4 Tiger and a 1.25 GHz Power Mac G4 tower with OS X 10.3 Panther installed. My friend had read a feature in the local newspaper extolling the virtues of Ubuntu Linux and thought it sounded interesting. Does Ubuntu Linux make any sense for Macintosh users? In my friend’s case, I would say no, and I did.” My take: I wrote about this subject earlier.
