For the first and third - well, sort of :) We're in a state of flux at
the moment; we don't really have an installer that works, but we have
all the components of a working system. You'll need some kind of
linuxppc boot already present (or possibly the install floppy and a lot
of patience) to install.
Every machine supported by LinuxPPC is supported; basically any
powermac with PCI, PReP, CHRP, and MBX machines, as well as a few
oddballs.
