Linux for PowerBook G4 10.4.9

I have this laptop sitting around doing nothing and doing the course from edX on Linux. Can someone please suggest what to put on to this old laptop

Thanks

Because it is an old Laptop I would choose a small and fast operating system.
Look up arch linux, lubuntu, or anything like that. Just search for "Linux fast and lightweight" and choose a distro suiting you the most.
But watch out!: Most of the fast/lightweight distros come without any additional Software, so you have to setup them manually. Look for a distro for beginners, if youre not familiar with Linux.

Thanks Willy, I'll start looking this morning, I don't mind adding additional software later just as long as it works :-)
