Hi Lubuntu PPC users and testers,
You find a version that is almost the same as a released Lubuntu 16.04.1
LTS version for PowerPC at
http://phillw.net/isos/lubuntu/xenial/testppc/

1507332 24 jul 21.29 xenial-alternate-powerpc.iso.zsync
941045760 24 jul 17.23 xenial-desktop-powerpc.iso
1838208 24 jul 21.29 xenial-desktop-powerpc.iso.zsync

You can download the iso files as usual or via zsync with
zsync
http://phillw.net/isos/lubuntu/xenial/testppc/xenial-desktop-powerpc.iso.zsync
and
zsync
http://phillw.net/isos/lubuntu/xenial/testppc/xenial-alternate-powerpc.iso.zsync
zsync is checking the md5sum as part of the process, so it is very
reliable, and it is particularly good, if you intend to check daily iso
files regularly, because you need only download the difference from the
previous (daily) iso file.
-o-
These files can be tested, but you can also install them like they were
the real released 16.04.1 LTS version for PowerPC. Not much has happened
during the few days after the release. I think nothing at all happened
during the first two days, so these iso files should be very similar.
Probably some minor bug is squashed, and I think and hope that no major
bug has emerged during these days.
So happy testing and usage :-)
Best regards
Nio

I just make sure that
they know we're listening and understand. In fact, could you link me to
some of these forums? Maybe I should link the release announcements
there and respond to responses on that. I could also look at some
threads and instruct people on filing bugs and reporting issues that a
bunch of people are having in a way we can see it.
@Simon:
Thanks for your reply. Link to Ubuntu's Apple Hardware User sub-forum,
wherein all topics related to PPC would be posted or funneled by the
list mods:
<https://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=328>
BTW I do and have filed bug reports, to varying degrees of response from
devs . . . and have reported my test results on the QA; I was a member
of the QA group until I was dropped awhile back . . . . I do read or
scan most posts on the Lu list serve and recall little or few mentions
of "PPC" related topics or requests for testing for release, until this
recent round.
But, indeed, it would be "nice" if you or some of the devs tasked with
PPC would blow through that forum and respond to various posts, possibly
that would or could get the people who are trying to get various ubuntu
flavros to run on their PPC machines enthused about testing . . . ???
Personally I don't look to Twitter for reliable data . . . . As far as
my post yesterday requesting for testers, "152 views" with "0 replies" .
. . . "luigiburdo" is someone who is actively trying to get linux
running on his various PPC computers, has filed bug reports and so forth
and yet seems to have his issues unaddressed; based upon his posts on
the apple user forum . . . people are trying, but don't seem to be
connecting to the people who actually do stuff . . . . Thanks for
listening.
BW,
F
