Installing on an older (read: PowerPC) Mac does require a different 
version. It looks like Ubuntu 7.04 no longer supports PowerPC, but 
there are PowerPC install CDs for 6.10. Go to the download mirrors page 
(http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors) and find one close to 
you. Here's are two mirrors, one in Japan and one in the US; the 
mirrors page will have more:
