Two other possible solutions could be to try CrunchBang (very undemanding
Debian-based distro) or LXLE which is to Lubumtu LTS more or less as Mint
is to Ubuntu. These distros gllow easy access to the main Debian and
Ubuntu repositories respectively, so you can pick and choose from the vat
array of appications out there.

Alternatively, you might look into the range of "Puppy" linuxes.

crunchbang too, does not run on ppc (although i think it might be possible to get there by first installing debian wheezy and then adding the crunchbang repositories (but i'm not sure).

What i would do is this:

A) Debian Jessie (but downgrading the kernel to 3.2-04 until the dead sound problem in the newer kernels is not solved) with LXDE and the substitute openbox as windowmanager by jwm.

B) Lubuntu 14.04 (also downgrade the kernel) and also substiting openbox by jwm.

In both cases i've a working system with, among others, pcmanfm-desktop daemon, polipo, tor&vidalia, 2 conky processes (one for the weather forecast and one for systeminfos) xscreensaver, keepassx, blueman and autostart thunderbird to tray with around 200mb after finishing the boot procedure.

In both cases i removed nearly all gnome related packages i found, which will delete also network manager and (gnome) bluetooth. As network tool i use ceni, which is commandline but well guided and easy to use - AND EXTREMELY STABLE.

Cheers.
