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:
http://www.linuxppc.org/documentation/
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.

debuginfo-install
debuginfo-install(1) debuginfo-install(1)
NAME
debuginfo-install - install debuginfo packages and their dependencies
SYNOPSIS
debuginfo-install package
DESCRIPTION
debuginfo-install is a program which installs the RPMs needed to debug the specified package. The package argument can be a wildcard, but
will only match installed packages. debuginfo-install will then enable any debuginfo repositories, and install the relevant debuginfo rpm.
EXAMPLES
Download and install all the RPMs needed to debug the kernel RPM:
debuginfo-install kernel
WARNING MESSAGES
Could not find debuginfo for:
You may sometimes see warning messages about certain packages not being found if you run debuginfo-install for a wildcard or glob.
Debuginfo packages are not necessary for "noarch" RPMs; these will generate a warning message. Additionally, On 64-bit systems, no
multilib debuginfo packages are published, so if you have 32-bit packages installed, these will also generate warning messages.
FILES
As debuginfo-install uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like
which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/
SEE ALSO

AUTHORS

BUGS
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org. To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com
for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
