I use YellowDog Linux, I have a 350MHz beige G3 and it works *very* well 
for me.  You will need your original Mac OS CD to partition the hard 
drive, but the installation documentation at the YellowDog site is 
excellent.  Everything just worked as expected.  :)  AND, the yum 
package manager is great.

YellowDog looks a *lot* like Red Hat, iirc, its RH based.

HTH!
