Additionally I added MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) to the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017 today.

Hi All,

Canonical has recently released the final ISO images of the Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) [1]. Unfortunately Canonical has removed the PowerPC architecture. Consequently Canonical will not releasing PowerPC images anymore. Ubuntu MATE 16.04 will continue to support 32-bit PowerPC until 2019 and Canonical will offer security updates for the version 16.04 until 2021. The latest LTS release is 16.04.3 [2]. Fortunately we have a fork of ubuntu MATE 17.04, which I have updated and released as the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017. Today, I released the version 0.8 of the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017.

New:
  • Some new wallpapers
  • Casey's wallpapers added (Thanks to Casey)
  • Mesa updated to 17.2.1
  • Firefox ESR updated to 52.4.0
  • Thunderbird updated to 52.2.1
  • Qmmp 1.1.3 with Winamp 5 skin added
  • PCSX-Reloaded 1.9.94-2 added
  • MAME 0.182-1 added
  • Samba 4.5.4 added (Thanks to Musa)

MD5 Checksum: ce85adc88b7b94d2e67d10a9bf192385

Which apps shall I add to the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017 version 0.9?
