Unlike some months ago, linux now runs pretty well on those hw. there are a number of distros which ships their own ppc-based releases, most notably mandrake, suse, debian, gentoo.
notwithstanding just a few months ago it would be very difficult to build a good and complete ppc-linux box yourself, there are now many good guides, most of which very easy step-by-step guides, which will let you get quickly and easily a well-working OS. Probably for it's vivacity and support debian's still the most fair choiche right now, but i'm curious to see what will mandrake do with its 9.1-ppc. For the moment, those are some really nice guides:
