Go to http://netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/ you should find what you're looking for. This is not Linux but rather a BSD.
"NetBSD/macppc is a relatively new NetBSD port. The first binary release for macppc was NetBSD 1.4. It supports most Apple Power Macintosh computers with PowerPC processors and Open Firmware. For older (680x0-based) Macintosh computers, see NetBSD/mac68k. There is also an experimental NetBSD/bebox port for Be, Inc's PowerPC-based BeBox.
Almost all PPC Macs introduced after August 7, 1995 are supported."
