I've had yellowdog and linuxppc running quite happily although I haven't managed to get the PCMCIA cards working (may just be my machine - it's a little flakey in the card department). An external modem does the job fine for net stuff... The yellowdog installer is probably better for a 1st timer though, with a much nicer partitioning interface than linuxppc...
NetBSD is another viable choice, although the installation process is complicated enough to give most people (myself included) a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach... Anyway, if you want to try linux, I'd say give yellowdog a try - just download the 2.2 iso image and burn it to a CD for a low effort installation... http://yellowdoglinux.com Have fun.
