I have the same machine and currently run sid (unstable) but started using debian woody early last year - I upgraded to sid in December. I would recommend the hard disk boot installation: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch-install-methods.en.html#s-boot-drive-files 4.4.2 Hard Disk Installer Booting for NewWorld Macs Once you've done the install certain things like sound are quite tricky to get going (searching the archives for last year should yield some clues). The major leap forward I made was after using the benh kernels. Ben has performed some magic in providing kernels that make Macs much more useable - thanks Ben ;) See the thread : Recompiling Kernel on G4 PowerMac Gigabit dual 450Mhz on debian-powerpc http://penguinppc.org/~benh/ FWIW I love my G4 running Debian - it rocks ;) Have fun!
