Personally I do not care for Ubuntu at all. That is personal preference, not me slamming the distro before someone gets upset. Ubuntu does not support the ppc platform in their current release. They have an older version you can run on ppc. Fedora 12 has ppc version and it pretty well runs out of the box. However, with any linux version you are going to have to do some configuring on your system. If you need any help with a Fedora install, feel free to contact me off list. I will mail you a copy of ppc12 if you want as well.
