    Re: Ubuntu 15.04 testing

    A couple of days ago I installed Ubuntu MATE 16.04 on my new Power Mac G5 7,3, 8 GiB RAM, Radeon 9650 mac edition, 500 GB SATA harddisc. The system is running fine so far but it feels 'sluggish' somehow. Which means keypresses and mouse gestures get swallowed randomly. And I still have to get the sound working. But apart from that no problems so far. Oh, and the "no 3d accelleration on 24bit screens with R300 hardware" is still here, so I am running xorg on a 16bit screen.

    It's like going back to the old Ubuntu Karmic Koala that introduced me to the world of Linux... brings back a lot of memories. It's so nostalgic. For me, this is the desktop of the real original Ubuntu. No offense to the present day Unity team. Again thank you so much, Ubuntu MATE team. More power to you.

    Hi All,

    There is the latest kernel 4.4 available for the Power Mac G5. Very impressive!

    Cheers,

    Christian

    Re: Ubuntu 15.04 testing

    I've successfully installed Ubuntu 15.10 on my HP Mini 110-1197TU with everything (and I mean) everything working straight away upon installation completion.

    The only issue I have is in trying to get my favourite application working (MindJet Mind Manager 2012 Professional).

    But, I found FreePlane, installed it and love it .. so moved across to Ubuntu 100% now and loving it!

    Yes, it is possible. Firefox and the Welcome screen runs in a ubuntu MATE 15.10 PowerPC chroot.
