There are no 'official' PPC builds since 6.10, but there's still a community-supported one for every version up to 10.04; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads Hint for the future; the first result if you google "ubuntu ppc" would have taken you right there.

Rob is right. The Ubuntu wiki is informative and Yellow Dog (now called something else, but I can't remember what) is historically a PowerPC based Linux version. <soapbox> Unfortunately, a lot of distros have dropped their PowerPC versions, which IMHO is a huge mistake because most of the Apple machines with PPC processors are still running and have very few Linux options.</soapbox> You can find PPC versions of Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu at various places. A good resource is the Oregon State Univeristy Open Source Lab's mirrors at http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ where you'll find a list of distros but you'll have to go through the lists to find the PPC version of the iso files to burn. For what it's worth, on the PowerPC machines in my office I'm running Debian on a iMac G3 (my first Linux install four years ago) and just installed Fedora 9 on a iMac G5. Both run great.
