I've just ditched my Linux-mac in favour of Mandrake on a now surplus Dell laptop.
I did manage to get LinuxPPC running on both a PPC7100 and 8100 but storage and memory were too limited to do anything worthwhile. There are resources out there for early Macs. Try a Google search for LinuxPPC or MkLinux.
