Just tested booting and installing my iBook G4 with Ubuntu MATE 15.10
daily. It booted from DVD using only 'live' and the install completed
successfully. Some PowerPC related bugs have been fixed this cycle:

Title:
  PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer

Status in Linux:
  Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During the installation the computer freezes completely except for the
  mouse pointer.  And even that is stuck with whatever shape it happened
  to have at the time it froze.  The steps I have to cause the freeze
  are run Ubiquity to start the installation open a terminal, run
  Ubuntu-bug and let it launch Firefox.  It will freeze every time then.
  Even the consoles (ctrl-alt-f1 etc) are unavailable.  What kind of
  information can I collect and how?
