Quoting John Andrews (jla1200 at netzero.net):
> The Ubuntu page says Kubuntu 7.10 will install on Apple Macintosh G3
> G4 etc ibooks Power Books Does that include imacs?
The Ubuntu PowerPC FAQ, referred to earlier
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ) includes this as item 1.1:
Q: Which Macs are compatible with Ubuntu?
A: All NewWorld Macs should work. This means iMacs, iBooks, blue &
white G3s, Lombard G3 PowerBooks and newer. The minimum system
requirements are 256 MB of RAM and 3 GB of hard disk space.
Currently as of Feisty for iBooks/Powerbooks sleep, wireless, and
external display are all supported with models having ATI graphics.
Owners of the 12" Powerbook G4 models with the Nvidia graphics chip:
sleep is not possible, because of insufficient hardware information
from Nvidia.
So, yes.
("Insufficient hardware information" alongside "from Nvidia" is somewhat
redundant, one notes.)
