Feisty Fawn will not have official PowerPC support from Canonical; the
decision to drop official support from new releases was made a little
while ago. AFAIK there's still a community port though.

There are only really two PPC-only distributions; Yellow Dog and my
as-yet-unreleased Copland distro. There were a couple of others, but
they're long-gone abandonware. (I'd appreciate some programming help
with Copland, if there's anyone on here with a Mac and some Python
knowledge!)
