Just FYI, I've just installed[*] Ubuntu 10.10 on my old Apple PowerMac dual 2.7 G5. Once again Ubuntu breaths new life into old mostly-dead hardware! In any case, I'm creating the schroots now and I've added it as a stable Python buildbot, so I intend to keep it up and running (albeit in a room in the house where I don't care about the excessive heat and noise ;).
Meaning: if you notice any build problems on PPC, ping me and I'll try to test things out locally. Cheers, -Barry [*] After much hand-wringing due to thermal overload crashing, I performed a wonderful, complex, obscure, and highly technical hardware fix. I dusted. :) Yep, there was a layer of dust caked across the air intake port in the cpu compartment preventing the machine from cooling itself.
