Understandable. For the record, when performing any Linux install
correctly, I've never experienced data loss. It's only happened once
otherwise and it was because of user error. :-) Having said that
though, I just performed my first PPC Linux install and because of an
8Gb boot disk limitation on my older iMac, I had to replace OSX
instead of setting up a dual-boot. So there was data loss, but it was
intentional. :-)

Here's a link to the message with the alternate distro info:

The reply to that message from Matt hinted at why there isn't a live
PPC for Ubuntu yet:

Hope that helps!
