Best way is to get either YellowDogLinux(.com) or LinuxPPC(.com) on cdrom.
You will have to
1. repartition the hard drive on your machine and use some of it for MacOS and
some for LinuxPPC
2. or use a separate hard drive for LinuxPPC.
3. both come with instructions on how to partition and install and both have
mailing lists and archives for more info.
Also check LinuxPPC.org for more info.
I tell you, once you get it up and running you wont regret it.
