Yellow Dog (Red Hat 8 based) works, but it is kind of a waste because 
OpenOffice won't allow cut and paste. That put me off it for the most 
part, but other than that, it was fine on an iBook. They have a new 
version now, so perhaps that problem is cleared up.  Mandrake also has a 
PPC version but I couldn't get it to even install on the iBook.
