Lubuntu 14.04 ppc errors + JWM

[Fritz Hudnut]

@Israel:

Thanks for the thoughts, the OP is "fairnet" but I've been considering a
test run on the iBook of 14.04 . . . I'm fine with 12.04, should be
supported for the viable life of the computer . . . but, thanks for the
idea of JWM . . . I might try that out for humor . . . definitely the iMac
is probably staying with 12.04, so another DE would add some "flavor" . . .
.  For me sound isn't too critical on the iBook, it's kind of a "mad max"
unit by now . . . but it seems for fairnet he would like sound for his PB .
. . .

F/e.e.p.
