==Farewell '''Mac'''. Hello '''Sugar'''.==
Linux runs on Mac.<br>
Sugar runs on Linux.<br>
A two step install of both Linux then Sugar onto an erased Hard Drive will work on most Macintosh computers including powerPC Mac and Intel Mac. <br><br>
'''To identify the Mac's processor and OS X version'''<br>
Choose '''Apple menu''' > About This Mac. A small window will appear titled ''About This Mac''. The processor type should be in the window.<br>Note: ''Sugar on a Stick is for the intel processor only. Macs with powerPC will need to get their sugar from a Linux distribution.''<br> <br>
'''To get started, get Linux'''<br>
Sugar has been ported by the major Linux distributions and many minor ones. There are many choices available for easy installation; but after first boot, their support for Sugar varies. Search the internet for Linux Mac powerPC Install. Once you've found a version of Linux for your processor, search within to see if Sugar is pre-packaged for easy install and what support or discussions they've had. <!--Those stating educational focus may provide a better experience. But without published reviews, this is baseless bias. --> <!-- Two distributions leave powerPC unsupported: Sugar on a Stick and Toast ''aka Trisquel education distribution'' -->
