Yep, I'm on PPC. Does this mean that various packages in the
repositories may or may not work depending on your hardware? Since
gnucash is in universe, I know Ubuntu/Canonical do not officially
support it, but I was under the impression that Ubuntu as a whole and
its associated packages were simultaneously released for i386, AMD64,
and PPC. Is this not the case?
Thanks,
Brett
P.S. - Thanks for taking the time to help me out with this. :-)
