But, this JWM for PPC has been mentioned before, perhaps by the time you have the time to do that, might be around when all support for 12.04 is dropped . . . . It's "hard" to work with a 450 MHz processor these days.
Fritz:
I know (thanks to your reporting) that PPC support (or lack of such) is its own 'bag of worms', unfortunately. I am impressed with your dogged determination in trying to solve the many problems strewn in your path.
But at least in the Intel world, I have a 450 megahertz HP Vectra test machine, and it works with Lubuntu 14.04, 14.10, and now (more recently) with Lubuntu 15.04 (15.04 tested-out better than 14.10).
It runs my MIDI music tests, including running Qsynth, Qjactctl, Rosegarden, and Java. It played a demanding MIDI sequence without a single under-run error in qjackctl being reported.
That being said, it is a slow machine, that I would not recommend to anyone. Its best use is probably for me as a minimum-system test machine. But someone could use it, if they were motivated to.
