[ubuntu-uk] iMac G4

[Tony Travis]

Hello, Anyone using Ubuntu on an iMac G4?

I've just got one, and installed Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS (Dapper) on it...

Works quite well, but the recent decision by Canonical not to support 
the PowerPC architecture in future is disappointing. There is a 'port' 
of Feisty, but I couldn't get it to boot. Might have been a problem with 
the CD, so I'll burn another one: I don't want to have to use backports 
to get 'Gnash' working so I can enjoy the full irony of watching the Mac 
vs. PC spoof ad's from YouTube on a Mac running Ubuntu ;-)

Why? - I'd like to convert my Mac colleagues to Ubuntu, of course!

	Tony.
