<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Fritz,<br>
as you may recall I have an iBook, so I have a vested interest in
making a PPC version available.<br>
The only issue (currently) is that making a PPA for PPC is not
possible.<br>
So, I would need to remake the packages by hand for each update
for JWM or the settings manager or the scripts, and we would have
to figure out how to send those to the user.<br>
<br>
So... basically... if we can set up our own repository to host PPC
packages, or find someone who is willing to host PPC stuff it will
be very easy to keep up to date as all the code for everything is
on launchpad and github already.<br>
<br>
So short answer:<br>
I am determined to make at least 1 image for PPC.... but it will
probably not be until we get to Beta... though I may do it sooner,
as my one iBook can ONLY run 12.04 due to the sound issue.<br>

It is good idea to run such surveys and it is good point
to bring on the<br>
table. Old machines should not go to trash unless these
are 100% dead. I<br>
realized that even Lubuntu or other distributions won't be
helpful in<br>
the coming years and for that, I have created this
project:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://torios.org/"
target="_blank">http://torios.org/</a> which is still
Alpha at the moment but we are moving<br>
forward with solid steps and Beta is just around the
corner. Now, ToriOS<br>
is based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS which is well-known to be
better on old<br>
hardware than 14.04 LTS and for that reason, I insisted to
base ToriOS<br>
on 12.04 and the team has agreed. Now, what could happen
when 16.04 is<br>
out and just in case Canonical decided to end the 32bit
support by that<br>
cycle? or perhaps even before that? 14.04 LTS could be the
last one? who<br>
knows? not to worry, ToriOS will make sure that old
machines will stay<br>
in service as long as possible. Only time can tell and
prove that :)</blockquote>
