Welcome!
Have you seen the Ubuntu Linux Live CD for powerpc? http://cdimage.ubuntulinux.org/releases/hoary/current/
I tried it on my iBook at work and it looked very good, I've installed Ubuntu on an iBook before with the "Warty Warthog" release. Unfortunately the new wireless cards aren't supported because the specs haven't been released but pretty much everything else works. I'd be interested to hear how it copes on older kit but you might be right sticking to Debian for those.
