Ubuntu is the best distro on PPC to me. I have tried Mandrake,
YellowDog.. and even attempted to install gentoo.

I have a PowerBook G3 Firewire, which I want to repurpose as a Linux
box. I'm not sure which distribution is the correct one to use. I've
done some reading online, but there is an overwhelming amount of
information out there.

I'm looking for a simple, basic installation, one that completely
replaces the existing OS (9.0.1). I understand that there are many
intricacies involved in configuring each bit of hardware, but I'd like
to start with a solid baseline, and work from there.

Please reccommend a distribution that would fit my needs, as well as
the location of the download and documentation.

Thanks.
