Well SuSE runs really well on my 7200 and I've heard good things about it
running on G4s. I really like it, and it doesn't seem to have any serious
flaws. It depends on if you are going to use it on the desktop then use SuSE
and if you're doing network then use Yellow Dog.

Also Red Hat does not run on the PPC. Neither does Debian though it runs on
68ks.
