There's a 12.04 LTS PowerPC version available too Jan.
I have both that and the Debian port, but as I say lack the ability to
boot off of the CD/DVD drive, which fails to respond when I press c at
the boot noise (as most guides seems state it should), and simply boots
into the installed OS instead. The boot media is readable once I am up
and running in OS X, so it seems the drive is at least partially functional.
Thanks for the links and advice from all who responded thus far - I can
see I have a lot more reading to do and the desired quick fix (Ellen
returns to uni in a couple of days) is not likely to be forthcoming!
