Hi Tom!

Please remember that Ubuntu is a Debian deviant, or a "off-shoot" or
sub-branch of Debian.  Also Debian came to support the PowerPC very,
very late, almost reluctantly after Ubuntu dropped official support.

If you would permit me to provide some information regarding what is
going on lately with YDL, please refer to this page here:

http://www.fixstars.com/en/company/press/20100720.html

You'll notice that the current version of YDL 6.2.1 which allows support
for modern boards.  Terra Soft Solutions (TSS), you may recall was the
lead developer for PowerPC systems to such a degree that that Apple only
allowed TSS to resell PowerPC Macs with YDL and OS X/9 pre-installed
without voiding the Apple warranty!  In brief, buying from TSS was as
much as add-ed value as buying from Apple itself.  No other vendor could
claim such a relationship.

TSS was bought by Fixstars and you can read for yourself how they've
continued work here:

http://ydl.net/products/ydl/index.shtml

Also this page may interest you regarding YDL for Nvidia CUDA:
http://ydl.net/ydl_cuda/features.shtml

You could further access different pages regarding hardware support,
configuration, etc. on the same page. Take the time to go over the How
Tos ("How to" do this or that) -- they could be helpful given your
background and what you explained.
