I would like to see an UbuntuPPC list at some point simply because there 
are many hardware issues (OpenFirmware, yaboot, graphics cards, 
filesystems, laptop support, etc.) so the x86 world doesn't have much to 
gain from these discussions, however (IMHO) I don't think that now is 
the time.  It seems to me that the Ubuntu user base isn't quite big 
enough yet for that and really the majority of the discussion on 
ubuntu-users is applicable to all platforms.

That's just my 2 cents though :D
