How to request a 7.04 CD for an iBook

Asked by simonium

I'm having trouble requesting a 7.04 install CD for my iBook. The only free CD request options I see on the website are for x86 systems and 64-bit systems. In the download section I see Sun UltraSPARC option, but I don't want that either. How can I request a free PPC 7.04 install CD? I don't remember this confusion when I upgraded to 6.06.

Thanks for the time...

As far as I know you can't.

You can find the download links on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads or buy a CD at http://www.thelinuxstore.ca/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=41_47&products_id=1305

Oh, that's sad.

Do you know why it's not available?

Thanks...

PPC version is not officially supported since Feisty Fawn. I think that's the reason why you can not request it on ShipIt.

So does that mean Ubuntu is moving away from Mac development?
