What you can do is get a copy of mandrake linux, and go ahead and install that. Mandrake is pretty easy to install and use for a novice. Make sure to get the ppc version. Here is a good site: http://linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=29

You could also try Yellow Dog Linux which is a complete RPM based linux distro specifically built for the PowerPC architecture - you can set this up to dual boot with your existing Mac OS installation.
