Hey last time I used it  (circa 2006) it was a long time ago and it was 
working very smoothly.
Distro was the first (or second) Ubuntu release (the one they used to 
ship by CD)
and it was working very nicely. I even got mac-on-linux running and it 
was fantastic.

These days, given the ram required by most modern distro, I wouldn't 
try to run the latest fancy distro.
Maybe have a look to Linux mint ppc and keep us posted?
