I run Debian on my MacMini PPC with no other System. No Problem so far.
Actually, if your MacMini is a server this may even be better since
after a (possible automatic from power failure) reboot, you don't need
choose your OS and therefore headless booting is easier.
The installer will create that hfs formated bootstrap partition, no need
to care if i remember correctly.
