@Simon:

Thanks for your reply.  Link to Ubuntu's Apple Hardware User sub-forum,
wherein all topics related to PPC would be posted or funneled by the list
mods:

<https://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=328>

BTW I do and have filed bug reports, to varying degrees of response from
devs . . . and have reported my test results on the QA; I was a member of
the QA group until I was dropped awhile back . . . .  I do read or scan
most posts on the Lu list serve and recall little or few mentions of "PPC"
related topics or requests for testing for release, until this recent
round.

But, indeed, it would be "nice" if you or some of the devs tasked with PPC
would blow through that forum and respond to various posts, possibly that
would or could get the people who are trying to get various ubuntu flavros
to run on their PPC machines enthused about testing . . . ???  Personally I
don't look to Twitter for reliable data  . . . .  As far as my post
yesterday requesting for testers, "152 views" with "0 replies" . . . .
"luigiburdo" is someone who is actively trying to get linux running on his
various PPC computers, has filed bug reports and so forth and yet seems to
have his issues unaddressed; based upon his posts on the apple user forum .
. . people are trying, but don't seem to be connecting to the people who
actually do stuff . . . .  Thanks for listening.

BW,
