Too bad I just left Juneau yesterday (I was home on leave for 2 wks - just 
between the two meetings!).  I've got several PPC Macs running Debian.

Debian will install on new and old-world Macs, although old-world Macs can be 
troublesome due to flakey open firmware issues.  Jacob can tell you about his 
'molar.'  It is running Debian testing now, but for a while it looked like we 
killed it.  New-world Macs are much easier to deal with.  The Debian PPC 
install images are online.

Fedora Core also has a bootable PowerPC image, as does OpenBSD, etc. etc.  
There are lots of options.

Cheers,

James
