Anyone still use ppc?

So I've stumbled upon a Ibook g4 that was used in my household several years ago.
Was thinking of bringing it back to life.

Has anyone had any recent success with ppc distros?
I was thinking of throwing a debian ppc on it. I heard they have a few images. Not sure if it's still maintained or not.

So any ideas?
 


When you get time, do check out my video here. I am running Xubuntu 10.04 (ppc) on an ibook G4 like you mention... it works, for the most part on the ibook, but the sound from the machine is strange. I would be very curious to see how you make out with a ppc Debian. Also I'll point out I tried regular Ubuntu ppc version and it didn't utilize the on-board WiFi. I had to stick a dongle in it. The Xubuntu cooled right up to the on-board WiFi, freeing up my dongle to be used in an old eMachines PC I have running Lubuntu 15.10. Video:
