I know (thanks to your reporting) that PPC support (or lack of such) is 
its own 'bag of worms', unfortunately.  I am impressed with your dogged 
determination in trying to solve the many problems strewn in your path.

But at least in the Intel world, I have a 450 megahertz HP Vectra test 
machine, and it works with Lubuntu 14.04, 14.10, and now (more recently) 
with Lubuntu 15.04 (15.04 tested-out better than 14.10).

It runs my MIDI music tests, including running Qsynth, Qjactctl, 
Rosegarden, and Java.  It played a demanding MIDI sequence without a 
single under-run error in qjackctl being reported.

That being said, it is a slow machine, that I would not recommend to 
anyone.  Its best use is probably for me as a minimum-system test 
machine.  But someone could use it, if they were motivated to.
