10.5 osx iso?

Mar 25, 2014 at 9:36pm
so yesterday my friend sold me a rundown g4 powerpc and i want to make it my project. the first thing i need to do with it though, is load an operating system (since it appears to not have one). i could probably do linux, but i want this to be authentic. does anyone know if there is a free legal download of the 10.5 osx release?

OS X mavericks is the only one that is free that I know of.

It has mixed reviews though so you'd have to do more research.

OS X Mavericks (10.9) does not support PPC based Macs

The last version of OS X to support PPC is Leopard (10.5) so you'll have to find a copy of that.
