[ubuntu-uk] iMac G4

[Andrew Barber]

Hey Tony,
I am also using Ubuntu on an iBook G4 and have found it to be a nice
alternative to OSX. I have also successfully installed Feisty from the
community work ongoing to supple people like us with a nice GNU/Linux
distro.

If you have any problems, ping me on IRC. You will find me in the ubuntu-uk
channel, or you are welcome to private message me at any time. My nick is
AndrewB

Hope all is going well so far.
