Hi All,
Canonical has recently released the final ISO images of the Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) [1]. Unfortunately Canonical has removed the PowerPC architecture. Consequently Canonical will not releasing PowerPC images anymore. Ubuntu MATE 16.04 will continue to support 32-bit PowerPC until 2019 and Canonical will offer security updates for the version 16.04 until 2021. The latest LTS release is 16.04.3 [2]. Fortunately we have a fork of ubuntu MATE 17.04, which I have updated and released as the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017. Today, I released the version
0.8 of the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017.
New:
- Some new wallpapers
- Casey's wallpapers added (Thanks to Casey)
- Mesa updated to 17.2.1
- Firefox ESR updated to 52.4.0
