Thanks for answering my questions. I was following strictly the links I found 
at Home » Testing tracker >> Download links for Lubuntu Alternate powerpc on 
the Ubuntu ISO Testing  page    I ran through an entire testcase for ubuntu 
server and didn't run into the  "Try FAMILY" & "Startup Disk Creator" 
instructions that mystified me. Its easy to understand how one day the links 
might be wrong/broken. Today I found an April 8th zsync 
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily/pending/raring-alternate-powerpc.iso.zsync
 and have it burning. Being such a newb I didn't know that figuring out for 
myself what was the newest image and testing it was appropriate. Could I be of 
any official help testing this 'pending' ISO?   ( same as image on 
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily/20130408/ - tested with zsync after 
/pending burned) 

 I see both Lubuntu Desktop powerpc and Lubuntu Alternate powerpc in Raring 
Beta 2 read (archived) even though 0/x mandatory tests show up and looks like 
Run Once is 'None' ?

I have 3 ppc machines to test on, a valuable resource for the testing process 
if I could figure out how  (I have 5/6 partitions on the G4s and had trouble 
letting go of working yaboots to run the testcases literally). I've now 
rehabbed an old 10GB FireWire drive to test on to get around  the ppc 
non-USB-boot hassle : whirring annoyingly but it is bootable. Too late to test 
any 13.04 now? Is testing an never-ending process I wonder but I'll just sign 
up for 13.05 and try to be of some help whenever that starts up.
