What To Do With an Old G5 Tower?

lunatic1969 writes "I've got an old G5 PowerPC tower that's sitting in a spare room not seeing much in the way of use. I'd like to stick a Linux distribution on it and maybe breathe some life back into it. I've got a few vague ideas — it might be a handy file server, streaming video for a security system, or simply just to have a spare box around. My question is therefore in two parts: First, are there any particularly creative projects or ideas anyone has for an old G5, and second and most important, which distribution currently offers the best support for this box?"

Is that still considered funny?

More now than ever.

And it's not so much the joke that's funny,rather it's the sputtering, squealing, hands on hips, foot-stomping, outrage that makes it so hilarious.
