Linux on a Mac?

Slashdot is probably a better place to ask but I figure it can't hurt here either. I am contemplating turning one of my macs into a linux box. Has anyone done this? I have two iMacs one G4 800MHz and a G3 600MHz both are basically sitting around collecting dust.

My main goal is Java (SE & EE) development with both WebSphere & Weblogic. So if you have switched a mac to linux how did it go? Were you able to do Java development? It is hard enough to do development on a Mac with the lack of 'typical' enterprise software tools available on the mac and I asking for trouble by going further out onto the bleeding edge with PPC Linux?

Your thoughts greatly appreciated
