happily running debian here on this imac. to install follow these instructions
with the base2_1.tgz
www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-powerpc-9902/msg00100.html
www.infodrom.north.de/~joey/Linux/Debian/master/powerpc/install.html
You'll find there is no keyboard support so copy the keymap from the uusbd patch
to /etc/kbd/ and rename to default.map
directory permissions will be messed up so study the policy manual to get them right
Also consider dowloading all of base (well no kernels) and manually upgrading with
dpkg once you got something bootable and before running dselect.
good luck
