Here is some general old-world specific linux stuff: http://fungus.ucdavis.edu/~dylan/linux/
Note that I have Sarge installed on my powerbook G3 (now a powerbook G4), and sound works quite well, you just need to do a modprobe `dmasound_pmac`. Also, if you are interested, I have the 300Mhz + 1Mb Cache processor daughter card for your machine. Contact me off-list if you are interested.
