Since 7.04 Ubuntu, PowerPC downloads of Ubuntu are not available on all Ubuntu mirrors. Below you'll find links to the ISOs on the main Ubuntu server, as well as, help on finding mirrors.
Please review the PowerPC FAQ and the PowerPC Known Issues pages before installing. All the information you need for a successful install should be in those pages, so make sure you check them out first before wasting your time and effort on needless internet searches. Please do tell somebody on the Apple forum if you think the instructions are unclear or are missing something, but it would be great if you could make the improvement yourself!

This is not an complete list (please add to it). Using the list of official CD mirrors and a bit of ingenuity traversing the mirror directory structures (for example, click on the Parent Directory/ or ../ link) you can probably find more mirrors that contain PowerPC releases. Most PowerPC ISOs are in a ports directory, but for others (e.g. 12.04) you can find them in the releases directory. Daily development builds can be found with other architectures in the daily/ (Alternate CD) or daily-live/ (Desktop CD) directories.

While there are several builds of 'linux' or unix that could be run in certain Apple environs (hardware)

the names and conditions are detailed enough to consider further and in-depth study prior to being
fully (experimentally) committed to the installation and attempted use of any specific version.
Ubuntu, Debian, Mint PPC, and others offer possibilities; and may require much more command-line
use to access their features than the graphic user interface of Mac OS X (or earlier OS 9).
While I've read about these differing systems and how they could be used in Apple architecture

I've not used any of them; but do have a sprinkling of Mac OS from early version 1985 on and
lesser so with 'windows' PC. Not sure, but there are several places to study the topic online and
