I run one of these at home as a server (NAS, Minecraft) to this day. Runs FreeBSD 11.1 very nicely.

I was going to email the author about it but couldn't find her email address anywhere - plenty of account details on the usual walled gardens, but no actual email address.

Sadly this is becoming more common :(

FreeBSD is definitely the best OS to put on the G5. I have a dual core 2.3 GHz model with 8GB of RAM running perfectly on a ZFS installation.

I have a 2008 Black MacBook (the BlackBook). I couldn't find much in the way of installing anything on it (I'd honestly looked at Ubuntu and Debian).

I found this for FreeBSD (https://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleMacbook#Apple_MacBook_support_...). Maybe I'll give it another shot.
