@IsraelD: One could "hope" that Utopic is PPC friendly, but, didn't wxl say, "there is no 14.10 alpha for PPC due to lack of response to request for testers . . ."???? Personally haven't had time to throw at it either on my G4's . . . figuring that 12.04 is the extent of it . . . . But, if there is no NV driver or nouveau isn't, what? "adjusted" to handle nvidia cards, doesn't look like 14.10 will be anywhere close to being "utopia" for PPC . . . . @Luca: I've got a G4 iMac 800 MHz processor, with now 1GB RAM that is running 12.04 quite well . . . using nv driver, but I also used fbdev?? driver . . . did have to set up the xorg.conf file . . . if that looks close to you, I'm happy to email a copy of it to you??? Unlikely to work for 14.04 though . . . I think it's beyond the capacity of the G4 to handle that system??? But, 12.04 is perfectly fine, except because I have wifi card, that seems to interrupt "suspend" . . . and I think the latest kernels took sound away, other stuff . . . I mainly still use 10.4.11 w/ Ten4Fox + perian and video/Youtube is back . . . . Linux is just for sh**s and giggles to fill in the idle moment . . . as PPC falls below the event horizon of Linux and so forth . . . . : - ) Let me know on the xorg.conf for Xu/Lu 12.04 with nv driver (retro-installed) . . . . F/e.e.p.
