You do what you gotta do. 10.5.8 is the last OS X version which supported PPC.

  Run Linux or one of the *BSD's on it?

    Would that I could.

  And any Mac software you buy that still supports PPC is almost certainly not vendor-supported with security updates.

    Luckily PowerPC exploits were pretty uncommon even back when it was current, partly because it was more difficult to create than x86 exploits.

      How so? Do you just mean fewer people knew PPC? I'm not sure I follow this.

        Yea, partly, but also because PowerPC shellcode is more difficult: http://uninformed.org/?v=1&a=1&t=pdf http://uninformed.org/?v=1&a=1&t=pdf

          It's a dream compared to x86...
