You'll need a Linux distro built for PowerPC.  And Fedora Core currently
only supports x86.  I'm not sure if the PowerPC edition of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux supports Macintosh hardware but it may.

I run Yellow Dog Linux on my old Performa 6400/180:

If you have hardware that will run MacOS X then you should be able to
boot directly to YDL's installation CD.
