Hello Walter,
Which testing do you need? I'm runing Lubuntu 16.04 fine for now. I had detected some minor errors, some of that errors was allready reported. There was additionally detected some configuration changes after upgrade from 14.04 (**1). Some isses shall be additionally reported (**2). No major crashes are detected. Only minor errors (**3). 
 
Peter.
 
**1) Like fail2ban wont start if any of enabled jails will have error, faulty jail will not be simply ignored. Some default paths for logs in jails does not meet default configuration of rsyslog. In 14.04 was simply ignored enabled jails when any it's configuration had error, and service fail2ban was started with rest of jails.
 
**2) Program x11vnc still does not work correctly on PPC as it will provide desktop size with 4x3 pixels. Same x11vnc version works on my second mini PC with x86 architecture without any issue.
Alternate program tightvncserver can be used on PPC, but it will will start another X session. Logoff (and close of that session) is not possible from tightvncserver.
 
**3)  As example:
dmesg: /lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-fstab-generator terminated by signal ABRT.
  I have some more mount points with noauto option like webdav or external USB discs. But system will start fine, except error report will be raised per each boot.
My sound card is not in upstream kernel, so I need to manually compile kernel with small patch set to hook manual detection into working device drivers. Yep, HW from 2002 in 2016.

PS: Clamav is now at latest version which is really good as I'm using my PPC box also as NAS with remote desktop. That is similar use like SOHO server with enabled desktop part for remote desktop.
