Folks:
Anyone still using PPC flavors of ubuntu should be aware that there are less and less options available to run on our machines. In Ubuntu there is the mini installer option, which provides a base system to which a DE can be added; there is Ubuntu-MATE; and there has been Lubuntu. Lubuntu provides the integrated base and DE generally the lightest option in the Ubuntu family, but, due to lack of testing there is now no LTS release for 16.04 under the Lubuntu banner. Likely this would be the ***last*** version of Lubuntu available to PPC users. On my iBook G4 the beta of Lubuntu runs better and w/o boot params than 14.04 did.
So, anyone interested in the "full release" version the Lubuntu team is requesting that testers run through the QA testing process . . . after that they can qualify it to full release . . . . Please scroll through this page and find your way to "Lubuntu 16.04 QA Testing" and give them some feedback ASAP.
Edit: Looks like only the daily Xenial Lubuntu PPC desktop is available for testing, the others appear to be archived?
