the main problem here already is: Linux support for PPC is already massively lacking. Compared to the software and packages you get for X86 trying to use Linux on a regular G4 / G5 can become a real pain unless you are a gentoo-iast or the like (ie compile your OS yourself from ground up).
This even holds for much used distributions like Ubuntu / Kubuntu.
And trying to use BM within that environment can become even harder as BM has explicit dependancies to outdated libraries and applications anywhere outside OSX. (on Windows even worse, where GCC 3.1 is needed. Linux at least uses GCC 3.3)
