Thinking about changing Powerbook OS to ubuntu

-

so i've got old powerbook (7 years-ish) , ive upgraded os as can, still seems run slow , ram usage maxed out permanently, (1 gb of ram). dont want upgrade ram not worth spending money on it, , battery lasts 10 mins full charge anyway.

dont use more web browsing, can tell poor old thing struggling.

worth changing os ubuntu on machine try , run little bit quicker? im not sure if ubuntu runs on ppc machines, i'd read before doing it.

else have experience of running single boot ubuntu powerbook?
 

ubuntu on ppc mac terrible! there huge lack of driver support , unbearably slow. not reccomend it. think tiger (10.4) best bet, along tenfourfox, fine browsing.
