As long as we test the Ubuntu Server PPC image sufficiently, that one
should officially go through and be released in 12.10. Since it has no X
at all, it really should work fine!

So, a failure to find a thoroughly workable solution for X on PPC for
12.10 will not, as I see it, mean the end of PPC, just six months of no
   official PPC GUI release from Ubuntu.

I can't yet get the Lubuntu Desktop or Alternate ISOs to boot to a GUI
on a borrowed Powerbook G4 with an nVidia card in it.  But Ubuntu Server
installs and runs fine for me on that hardware.  Will try the 20121001
daily tonight if I can.
