Mac G4 with no OS: can Ubuntu be used?

I recently received a iMac G4 with no OS, so instead of buying OSX I though 'why not try Ubuntu'. I have it running om my laptop right now so I know how to install Ubuntu in principle.

However, when I put in a brand new hard drive it would not load the Installation CD (it is the ppc). So I got my junk old Windows PC and installed Ubuntu 12.04 just fine until I put it back into the iMac. In there it is just showing me the Finder Icon and question mark. Even though the Ubuntu was tested and works just fine.

There are sometimes community ports, but Ubuntu is not officially supported on Power PC. Please refer to the official wiki for more information.

However, this Ubuntu iso release has the Power PC port that will hopefully work for you.
