I'm on the same boat: I have an iBook G3 that is a fine computer and is running proprietary software right now, but I would love to have the flexibility of using Free Software, as an enthusiast. I think that, in this case, using Debian proper would be a good compromise. I would miss the Ubuntu-ness and all the convenience of an end-user distribution, but if Ubuntu doesn't work, what can exactly I do? Changing the initrd so that it can boot on all those machines that were "orphaned" by Apple in their latest Operating System is a priority that I thought that would be taken into consideration for the Gutsy release (here, the installed distribution didn't work since Feisty). Anyway, if there are proposals from the Ubuntu developers to have powerpc become a non-port again, I think that many people would contribute with the core team to have one very good distribution working with machines that were ignored otherwise.
