Some corrections, clarification, and help regarding linux on _old world_ Macs:

I just realized that most PPC distros don't support old world Macs at all. The G3-5 (new world) chips are all supported, but the 680*0 (68k) systems (that's LC 580, April 1995 and earlier) just aren't popular enough.
After filtering through my bookmarks, I found http://www.linux-m68k.org/ which would probably be very helpful to those looking to run *nix on their 68k boxes. Aside from the 3 distros (RH, Debian, Whiteline) listed on the above site, you can always tweak and compile an existing distro. Of course, that's if you have a bit of spare time and know your way around these things.
Now, for those who are ready to move, but don't want to get rid of their current Mac OS, you can get BootX. Read about it and download here: http://penguinppc.org/projects/bootx/ . If you're not ready to move or just need things fixed, I have a pile of Mac OS install disks too.
