The primary criterion is whether the Mac is "OldWorld" (Openfirmware version 
<3) or "NewWorld" (OpenFirmware version >= 3)
The pismo and all models of ibook are New World systems.  Any PPC version of 
linux will boot and install on any New World system.  It's possible that 
certain components of certain models may not be as well supported as under 
OSX, but you will be able to install Linux.
Here's a list of different linux versions:  http://www.penguinppc.org/about/dis

I played withe Ubuntu version 5.0.4 on my 366 Clamshell and it's
pretty cool for a freebie. And they send you CD's for free. I have
several if anyoe wants one. I also have a few exrta x86 versions as
well.

The CD comes with a "live" CD also which is a bootable CD that you can
see what Ubuntu is like.
