That would probably work fine.

My G3 iBook2 (two generations back on CPUs) first got Gentoo on it, and
following that Ubuntu Linux 4.10 "warty warthog".  There are now also
beta-level live CDs of that distribution (not yet tried).  I've in fact
downloaded one of those for _my_ installfest (SVLUG/CABAL's), which will
likewise be Saturday, at my house in the Bay Area.

This distro list is reasonably current:
