[aklug] iMac G5 update

[Mike]

I've added watching of DVD's.

I used parole because it was already part of the 16.04 Ubuntu installation.

When I inserted the disk, it started to play it, then reported I  
needed to do some "things" to make it work.

I did the "things" then it was able to play the video just fine.

Then I thought....wonder if handbrake would work....so I installed  
that and did some more "things".

It seems like it will rip the DVD just fine, but you should know, it  
will take a VERY long time.

I put in an approximately two hour movie...it should be done in about  
11 hours.  Average fps 3.5.

So it isn't a screamer, but seems to work.

I'll let you know after 11 hours passes.

I'm also trying to set it up for use as a CNC controller (may have  
mentioned that before).

I was using grblControl on my Intel box, but since this is powerPC,  
I'm going to give Universal G-code Sender (UGS) which is Java based  
and bCNC (which uses python) a try.

I don't remember those being available when I was first looking at  
tools, so maybe it will be an improvement.

My thoughts are that the java one will be terribly slow...we will just  
have to wait and see.
