I would try OSX on it. As much as I like Linux, OSX is very sweet. You have your unix environment, with a pretty GUI and the ability to run things like Quicken. Plus, you can install all sorts of GNU stuff, and a rootless X server. If you don't like it, you can always wipe it and install linux. I've been using Gentoo lately and I love it, there's a PPC version too.
