Debian.

http://kamparchive.arizona.edu/ is a 195mhz OldWorld PPC with 80mb of
ram and two power supplies. That was a fun machine to build. Installed
off of 2.2r7 disc and the box has upgraded itself steadily to Sid now ;)

On that note... I have a G3 that is too old to take OSX so I've tried
putting Linux on it a few times with no luck - I want to make it into a
living room fileserver/tivo thing as it has s-video in/out. Debian and
Mandrake have both failed me inexplicably. Any other thoughts besides
trying YDL?
