My original testbed was a Late 2005 2.3 GHz Power Mac G5 Dual with 3 GB of RAM and two hard drives, one with OS X 10.4 Tiger, the other with OS X 10.5 Leopard.It’s my most powerful PowerPC Mac, so I figured it would be a good way to take Linux for a spin. Apple Power Mac G5 Linux Ubuntu Mate 16 04 - Install and Test Linux Ubuntu Mate 16.04 PPC ISO - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/releases/16.04/release/. To celebrate the release of Ubuntu 18.10, Krazy Ken rummages through his old CDs, and finds a PowerPC version of Ubuntu Linux 8.04. He chooses to install it.

Ubuntu-MATE is distributed on two types of images described below.
Desktop image
The desktop image allows you to try Ubuntu-MATE without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. This type of image is what most people will want to use. You will need at least 384MiB of RAM to install from this image.
64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop imageChoose this if you have a computer based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the i386 images instead. Choose this if you are at all unsure.
32-bit PC (i386) desktop imageUbuntu Download For Macbook
For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows, as well as newer Apple Macintosh systems based on Intel processors.
