I ran Ubuntu on an iMac G3 350MHz boat anchor about 5 years ago because I managed to crash the OS 9.1 within a few hours of even having the computer, and it needed some stupid prom update to run OS X >10.1 and it could only be done from 9.1 which was pretty retarded. Never was able to obtain a copy of 9.1 so I tried whatever PowerPC Ubuntu release was out 5 years ago and it worked extremely slow and of course there was no proper video driver support for the ATI Rage 128 it had. Perhaps you'll have better luck with your G5.
