Never done it.  If you do, bring it to a meeting: I'd be interested, for one.

I've heard that MkLinux is supposed to be slightly better for older PowerMacs
and LinuxPPC is supposed to be required for some newer ones.  You should
probably check out the LinuxPPC and MkLinux pages to be sure; they're
reachable from the Linux Documentation Project (and don't forget, we have a
mirror of that at http://www.luci.org/LDP/).
