[GRLUG] on a PowerBook G4

[Topher]

A friend was recently given a PowerBook G4.  Firefox is at 3.6 on there, 
and Safari is equally old.  We can't update the OS both technologically 
and financially, so I'm looking to put Linux on there.

I know practically nothing about PowerBooks.  I know it's old, and I don't 
think it has an intel proc.  I'm guessing I'll need a light desktop like 
XFCE.

What are my options for distro?  I suspect Debian, but that's always been 
a painful process for me.  Would xubuntu be light enough?  Or is the cruft 
going to bog it down?

I don't necessarily want to get too crazy on distro, I'd like to be 
relatively familiar with it.  I know debian based systems pretty well, and 
redhat based systems, and I know Arch pretty well.
