Though it was easy to install from the live CD (DVD), booting OS needed the yaboot parameter "nouveau.noaccel=1" for disabling acceleration. Problem about sound must be fixed according to PowerPCKnownIssues.

Lubuntu 15.04 for PowerPC
Unfortunately, Lubuntu 14.10 had not been released owing to several bugs. I tried to install Lubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) Daily Build for PowerPC on my powermac G5 (2.0G Dualcore, late2005, GeForce6600LE).

In my feeling, stabilities or unstabilities of lubuntu 15.04 (daily build) are almost as same as Lubuntu 14.04.
