Now THAT's a new one - G3 MacBook! 
Depends on how graphical and/or how speedy it has to be. Really graphical distros you could install on your Macs would be SuSE and Ubuntu.
Something a bit faster would be Debian Linux - it runs on just about any machine, now that I think about it...
Gentoo would be awesome except it's a little harder and time-consuming to install - how experienced are you with Linux?
Furthermore, installing Linux on Macs is not as straightforward as installing Linux on PCs. So I recommend reading these links here for some documentation and programs you might need:
http://en.opensuse.org/PPC:Installation_issue
http://penguinppc.org/historical/benh/
http://people.debian.org/~branden/ibook.html
http://www.desertsol.com/~kevin/ppc/
Good luck, and I hope the install goes well!

My buddy just got a new dobe .. and the pup's chewing pretty good ... I'm coming out of retirement a little to train him .... not the dog.
So ...how much has your dog damaged .or is it a pretty mellow dog?
I haven't had a pup in about 10 years... I adopted this lab ... I think i'm due for another GSD pup.

No prob ..about the video .. My labs kinda mellow too... after having some high energy/high maint. K9s its kinda peacefull around here and I don't have to worry about her making her own arrests
Hey Joe, you know I used to train with RCMP, and Edmonton and Calgary PDs here in California ... Gangs, K9, SWAT and Self Defense. We trained alot of your instructors and supervisors .... but they are all my age or older ... so they're probably retired ...

It's not a big deal. The OP's question was already answered, it was the OP that went off topic, and lastly, it's nearly always the destiny of a thread to go off topic. I know it's generally discouraged, but in this case it doesn't really matter too much.
