I had to sell my iBook for text books this semester, I am poking around here and there looking for a PPC machine for cheap ... hopefully a PowerMac G4 500MHz, 256mb of ram, 10gb hdd ... as soon as i get the money together and find one I would be willing to help. <br><br>-Adam<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/26/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Jim Campbell</b> <<a href="mailto:jwcampbell@gmail.com">jwcampbell@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <span class="q"><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/26/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Jim Campbell</b> <<a href="mailto:jwcampbell@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">jwcampbell@gmail.com </a>> wrote: </span><span></span><br><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <span><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div><div><span><br></span></div></div></blockquote></div></span> There were "release" builds of PPC for Ubuntu and Kubuntu, and afaik, they didn't receive any additional or special testing . . .  so I am checking to see if a "release" build of Xubuntu 7.04 for PPC can be rolled. <br><br>What Vincent said still stands, though . . . PPC is a port, and isn't officially supported by Ubuntu at this time.  <br> </blockquote></div><br></span>We need at least 3 PPC testers who are willing to do a test installation of the PPC image on this page:<br><a href="http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ports/daily-live/current/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ports/daily-live/current/ </a><br><br>That is the 4/15/07 image, the same build that was used as the final release of Xubuntu on i386 and AMD64.  If the PPC tests are successful, they will mark it as final.  Follow-up with me via email directly to report a successful test. <br><br>Along these lines, any users interested in maintaining a PPC port for any flavor of Ubuntu should really step up and get involved.  =)  Official PPC support for Ubuntu was dropped in February of this year.  That wasn't that long ago, but it will really take a solid community effort to keep it going past this point. <br><br>Jim<br><span class="sg">-- <br><a href="mailto:jwcampbell@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">jwcampbell@gmail.com</a> </span><br>--<br>xubuntu-users mailing list<br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br>Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a><br><br></blockquote></div> <br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><a href="http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdamMiller">http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdamMiller</a>
