I was running it in the past and at the moment have it on Powerbook 
Lombard.
The most hassle free distribution is Yellow Dog. These folks are 
commited to PPC and that's what they do best, especially when you need 
support and help. There is also Debian (haven't tried that one), 
Mandrake (lagging behind other releases), and SuSe (not free).
Yellow dog just needs some free unpartitioned space and it will create 
required partitions during the install. That is about your only option 
because none of the distributions support booting from the external 
firewire drive.
