My first experience with Linux on a PPC machine was Pegasos PPC and Debian. Last weekend I upgraded my Cube G4 450 Mhz and with a blazingly fast 120 GB 7200 RPM WD drive (for just $58!) to replace the default (and extremely slow) 20 GB Maxtor IDE drive. In this vast drive space, there is enough room for more than one operating system, so I decided to install Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 (and then upgrade to 3.0.1 via APT) as an addition to Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. Read more for my impressions of YDL 3.0.1 and check some screenshots too.

Oh its bearable, but OS X (more specifically Quartz) is still one bloated/heavy SOB. Sure, Quartz is worth it - damn it rocks, but its HUGE. I think what makes OS X so fast on a G5 isn't so much the CPU as the system's bandwidth. No, I'm not trolling - yes, I love Mac OS X, and indeed I'm waiting for my new G5 to come in (damned Apple pushed back my ship date from the 21st to the 30th, I ordered nearly two months ago....).
