macrumors newbie
Hello everyone,
I'm relatively new to the world of apple, but I recently took the plunge and get a Macbook Pro 2017 and more recently because of the aeshetics and the way they worked a bought a old Mac Pro 1.1 off ebay as I needed a desktop system to complement my setup.
I absolutely love the Classic Mac Pro. I've bought it cheap and upgraded it to 2.1 and put a host of upgrades into it including, 32GB RAM, 2x X5365 Xeon Processors and a 48GB Sandisk SSD with El Capitan installed.
It works amazing..
My next step is wanting to installing / dual boot the Mac Pro into Ubuntu if this is possible. I went to :
https://mattgadient.com/2016/07/11/linux-dvd-images-and-how-to-for-32-bit-efi-macs-late-2006-models/
to see download Ubuntu 18.04 desktop-amd64 ISO an dburned it to the disc. I manage to install the OS onto a seperate SSD, but when the program installs and asks to restart it doesn't boot up and my system just kind of turns on an off constantly.
I have to shut it down and remove the Ubuntu SSD for my El cap SSD to work.
I dont know what to do next, I know this is vague...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All the best

The page is hard to find but Ubuntu has versions specially for MACs. I have included the link, the second one down is listed as

Mac (PowerPC) and IBM-PPC (POWER5) desktop CD

For Apple Macintosh G3, G4, and G5 computers, including iBooks and PowerBooks as well as IBM OpenPower machines.

There are others listed just for MACs. I honestly have no personal experience with these so I don't know if they will work, I was just able to dig into Ubuntu's website deep enough to find the link for you. Hope it helps

Note: As I don't know your location I gave you the United States mirrors in the above link I also included 12.04 as it is the newest, let me know it you want another..
