cheers , thanks!

p.s. close enough ubuntu desktop 1 might install on pc nowdays using ubuntu environment fine, not couldent use else though, personal preference.

try lubuntu 12.10 ppc. burn bootable cd of it, insert cd, , hold down "c" while boots up. should boot menu, can boot cd. installer step through there.
i'm working @ putting on powermac g5- i'm having graphics issues, i'll work through them in time.
if run problems, post back.
