I'm trying to revive an older iMac (2008) into a Linux-powered internet browser.
Hardware limitations restrict me to "lightweight" distros, and so I picked Lubuntu, somewhat arbitrarily.
Got it onto a bootable USB drive, fired the machine up, and it seems to be working OK except I can't manage to get my stupid Broadcom WiFi driver to work.
I do not have the option of hard-wiring it to a router, even on a temporary basis...so I'm stuck trying to download things to another USB stick from my laptop and moving them over that way. Tried a couple that seemed like they should've worked, but no luck.
*Fair warning- I am a complete and total Linux noob. As in, completely clueless. So many of the Linux forum discussions I can find on the topic go right over my head.
Thanks!
