You needn't throw out the baby with the bathwater and wipe your old Mac's hard drive clean before trying it out. All you need is a USB drive of a least 2GB in size and an internet connection to get started. Here's how to do it. Get your USB drive ready. Backup your Mac. Launch Disk Utility.

I have two PC towers that have AMD X2 dual-core, both roughly 4xxx series.

Both run Linux fairly well, as Linux just needs much memory, fast hard disks, and a decent processor.
