Searching the web, I see very few possibilities to install a recent (I need gnome2) GNU/Linux distro on such hardware. I gave Linux MintPPC 11 (http://www.mintppc.org/content/list-macs) a try, but the netinstall iso simply fails in installing a boot loader that conserves the original OS/X partition even after many tries and workarounds.
this also helps to boot
rEFInd will work on EFI-based Macs, but not on old PPC Macs, which are based on OpenFirmware (so grub won't work either).
