This is a nubus machine (from before Apple switched to a PCI bus). This will make things somewhat harder, since the Linux kernel doesn't normallysupport such machines. There are patches to run Linux on nubus PowerMacs, and you can find a lot more info here:http://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net/
There are also Debian boot images (kernel + ramdisk) for both modified versions of BootX and miBoot, as well as the MkLinux Booter on that site. They're Potato boot disks, but the Potato CD image can then be used to finish off the install (or you can probably net-install the rest, with decent bandwidth, or sufficient time).
