PPC Security Tools Distro


Hello all, I am sure this question has been asked before, but for the life of me I cannot find any topics relevant to my question.
I have been on this hunt for quite some time now. I will be using this distro to test the security of the severs I have set up and will set up in the future. Though the only spare box I have at my disposal is an older iBook G4 (1.07Ghz PPC, 1.25GB RAM)
I am looking for something comparable to Knoppix STD or BackTrack. Does not matter to me if it is on a Live CD or an install only. Just something that geared toward network security, so it is already loaded with all the tools and programs.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers

Not sure if that is what you want, but the only one that comes to my mind is Finnix. It has a PPC version and if you need some more tools it can be easily remastered.

Thank you for the replay, I actually believe I have used a previous of Finnix before. A couple of years ago. Though, shortly after making this post, I acquired a used Acer netbook (not a bad deal either) and loaded it up with backtrack.
Cheers!
