What to put on my G4 MDD

I need some other Linux/BSD OS to complement my Leopard. Whats a good one for a G4 MDD with 768MB currently (1.25GB soon) I have a radeon 9k 64mb, a USB 2.0 card/FW400 and am planning to get a SATA PCI card. I have a 150GB HDD currently.

Intel SUCKS!!! PPC Dominates
PowerMac G4 MDD 1.5Ghz 1.25GB 10.5 AND Ubuntu 9.1

whyaskwhy brings up a good point. My MDD 1.25 runs 10.4 well, and after a brief search PPC has more headaches than the Intel installs.

But I don't want to discourage you yet:
Linux on Powermac G4 - Mac Forums
Ubuntu 8.10 on a Mac - Unix Linux Forum - Fixunix.com

Some like a challenge. Here's a comparison of distros
Comparison of Linux distributions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
