I recently pulled out my old cube I had stored in my garage for close to 20 years and it actually worked. I had replaced the video card years ago, I don't remember what it is but I do remember flashing it on a PC. It also has a 1ghz cpu I replaced. My question is, is there a modern OS that I can put on it to make it usable for web browsing. I put MorphOS on it but, I'm still looking for something else.
Got a tip for us?

MorphOS likely has an edge over anything else for web browsing on G4s. Anything else will likely give you a worse web browsing experience.
However, you might also enjoy Leopard, which has Aquafox/Aquaweb Micro, Powerfox (soon to have a JIT), and Leopard Webkit. Debian and ArchPOWER have Luakit which has also been reviewed well on this forum, and better fulfill the criteria of a modern OS.

I wish I had heard of these before wiping the drive. I still have some install disks from way back. Thanks for the advice.
