This is a response to an old question, but Ubuntu runs so slowly on my G3s and G4's that it doesn't really make sense testing it. Even if I get it running, testing is extremely slow. I'm picking up a used iMac G5 in the next couple days and might try it on that.

Sadly, I am only going to do the live session testcase for beta 2. I'll log my list of bugs against that so that they are on the record. There has been no progress on my nautilus bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/945097 . Without a working file manager it seems pointless doing any further testing. The Ubuntu ISO shouldn't be released for PowerPC IMHO if nautilus doesn't work. I'm going to fail the live session testcase and log it as a critical bug. I don't know if this is correct, but there is no testcase that specifically checks if the core applications are working. If the Lubuntu PowerPC guys have a bit of spare time, could they install nautilus and gedit and see if they are working for them? If it is a gtk bug then it could affect some of there applications also?
