Ibex on PowerPC

[dandantheitman]

Hey Craig,

Thanks for the update.  I upgraded via -update manager -d  and the
upgrade went seamlessly.  I had another firmware upgrade for my
wireless, which I am hoping is going to resolve the stability issue I
have with it.  In Hardy the wireless was stable provided I forced it
to remain in 802.11b.

I will do some more playing with it tonight and see what it looks
like.  I am running KDE rather than Gnome, and I quite like  KDE 4.1.1
Dan
