Right, but I would need a confirmation from anyone who has actually
installed/ran Ubuntu on the other PPC-powered machines. I only have
access to x86 and AMD64 at the moment.

I'll change this line upon notice that our PPC version actually run on
those machines. Because at the moment, our pressed CDs indicate Apple
machines explicitly.
