Sorry, but you should find out quickly when you try the various Live CDs/DVDs. I'm not sure about the Radeon 9700 – if it is as well supported as the Radeon 9000 Pro. I'm almost 100% certain that the nVidia 5200 will only work unaccellerated – and you won't like that. I generally prefer openSuSE Linux, and it has an official PowerPC edition. If you test a Linux and find one working well for your G5, please post a note. It could be interesting also for others. I know I'm interested.
