I just was trying Ubuntu server ppc for an old g3 -- the Gnome Desktop default was way too slow, but I found these LXDE packages and they worked good so I put them on my g4 powerbook too. Wow, great ! Gnome is so slow !
Debian has them too (that's what the g4 is running, the only reason I used ubuntu for the g3 powerbook was that the pc-card wifi was broken on debian) -- my g4 is running squeeze. Its really nice there. Another good newish lightweight tool I just found is links2. Unlike the other members of the lynx family this one runs in graphical or text mode. No javascript though (but that support in Elinks wasn't working too well for me anyway). bbc.co.uk takes you to a simplified version of their site with text and pictures only (no "flashy" stuff). Links2 can also do gmail pretty well. Graphical mode also includes buttons and a pull down menu.
