Eh, power PC is no longer really supported in ubuntu, for that you may wish to try debian...

Talkin' about a Mac Mini?

But SunnyRabbiera is right; Canonical does not officially support PPC anymore. You can still get PPC Ubuntu, though.

It is community supported, and a fine community at that. Check the FAQ for PPC users stickied in the Apple Users forum.

Thank you so much. If I ever pick up an Intel-based Mac, I know that I'll be coming right here in a heartbeat.

As to the original question - yes, your Mac Mini is supported. As a new user, you may have to rely on the community here to get you up and running. A few mac-mini's are on board.
