I hate Linux FUD when it comes from Linux advocates.
Theres no reason for Ubuntu NOT to support the PPC platform. It doesn't
require a whole lot of special code, and building a kernel for a PPC
environment is just like building one for any other environment.
The 20 or so man-hours that it takes to push out a PPC version of
Ubuntu is very, very cheap.
