Hi Fritz, I recently tried the 15.04 mini iso for PPC and it seems like systemd is a huge problem for PPC. I tried installing xserver/xorg/etc... and my computer crashed. I tried apt-get -f install and it crashed. pretty lame experience. Maybe LFS would be a good way to go with PPC :P Probably about the same amount of trouble. On a side note, I might test out the latest Debian from mini. If I have good successes I will tell you!
