Hey Tony, I am also using Ubuntu on an iBook G4 and have found it to be a nice alternative to OSX. I have also successfully installed Feisty from the community work ongoing to supple people like us with a nice GNU/Linux distro.
If you have any problems, ping me on IRC. You will find me in the ubuntu-uk channel, or you are welcome to private message me at any time. My nick is AndrewB Hope all is going well so far.
