Java The IcedTea project added a PowerPC Java port (both 32 and 64 bit) of OpenJDK. IcedTea 1.5 now also tracks the mercurial repo, provides better GNU/Linux integration by using standard system libraries (libpng, libjpeg, zlib, giflib) and can be bootstrapped with the free gcj/ecj/classpath toolchain. OpenJDK just accepted a new porters group and Gary Benson wrote a guide to porting IcedTea that might be the start of a lot of other Java ports.

Try Fedora 8. Fedora 8 provide IcedTea.
Btw, Red Hat/Fedora has done most of the improvement in IcedTea.

But F8 does not offer IcedTea for ppc. Wait for F9 (or try RawHide).
