There are several Linux distros that will run on a PPC. Probably best to hit up the Ubuntu forum and find out which version is best to use. (Ubuntu does have a server version but I'm not certain whether it will run on a PPC.)

Regards.

Yellow Dog linux is the only recent one I can find. You need a DVD ROM drive to install it though. There are no more CD sizes ones I can find.
