Well, you're going to have to be more specific - What Linux distribution are you wanting to install? To the best of my knowledge, Redhat does not have a port that will run on PPC machines. Check out this link:

Read every link thoroughly, and understand it before even attempting to install - you'll have a much less painless install if you know what you're doing.
