Fedora 12 on PPC

I'm trying to install a linux system on a IBM PowerPC 275 system. I noticed that fedora 12 supports PowerPC. Does anyone have experience with this? I don't want to pay the fee for an enterprise licence for red hat or suse.

A quick search on DistroWatch gives you a nice list of active PPC distributions.

Ubuntu on PPC? Also IBM POWER4 or only Apple? That could be worth a try.
