yes it is possible, i've done it, although i'ts a pain in the a** to configure, so i'd just get the PPC version of linux, you have linuxppc, debianppc, suseppc, yellowdog, some bsds, and mklinux along with some others

Yes you can. I had trouble with the Debian net install, but I probably did not have my Internet settings correct.

I did have success with Fedora Core, thought the speed is not great.

I found the Network Sharing required I manually configure the Network settings inside Linux.
