I've been successfully able to use Ubuntu 6.06, Finnix, Frugalware, and Slackintosh 11 on my Sawtooth G4. It's been a little while since I've messed with Linux, or Linux on PPC.
The only thing I can think of that would cause problems is that the Linux kernel is missing drivers for specific hardware your Quicksilver uses.
One of the few things I mastered (if not only,) when trying to make my PowerPup Linux OS was creating the bootable ISO. To boot up my disc all I had to do was hold c, and it went right to Yaboot.
Actually, that's pretty much the way I've booted any Linux disc... Guess it's just the particular Macs I have.
