Hi David,
best advice(s) for now are as follows:
1) "Easiest": install Ubuntu for PPC and add normal Debian (possibly
unstable also) sources, then apt-get install the various packages you want.
Both Demudi and Ubuntu are Debian-based, so the inner core is the same.
However, Demudi has no PPC packages, so you'll miss out on the kernel. Kim
was already asking me about this, so maybe I'll take him up on his
suggestion to make a WIKKI page about it, as long as others here are
willing to file their own reports on how well it does or doesn't go.
2) Install Debian or Gentoo for PPC and use their packages. Again, you'll
be missing the low-latency kernel. But you can always compile ;-) Most all
the apps you want should exist as packages for both platforms. I prefer
Gentoo these days because I find it more comfortable to configure, but many
Debian folks say the same thing, so the difference may just be academic.
Happy to answer further ??'s as time allows. Otherwise, let's get together
on the WIKKI pages.
best,
Derek

Apropos of Linux/PPC:
Does anyone know of any plans to port the DeMuDi (Debian Music Distro) for
PPC? This distro was initiated jointly by IRCAM and CCRMA, and I'd really
like to get my hands on it - would save hours of headaches recompiling the
kernel, tracking down audio-related packages, drivers, and programs etc...
