Try Ubuntu for PPC. There is an installation CD, but I am not too sure about
a live one. The Ubuntu packs often come with a pair of CD's (Live and
Installation) and I suspect PPC will be no exception. It exists and I heard
it would work very gracefully. That only goes back several months back...
Hope it helps,
