I'm probably going to get a  lot of flack on this. But sometimes
planned obselscence just has to run course. PPC went out like late
90s. And there is only ONE distro I know of still actively or was
actually pursuing PPC of any sort -- Yellow Dog Linux. The audience
just isn't there for the effort to make a distro anymore.

By at least moving to Intel like MAC and PC's have done you will give
yourself a fair shot at getting support and not having to try to
hobble together something. Goodwill used to sell computers and such
for pretty cheap. I picked up a monitor there, this was CRT days for
$10. That was 5 years ago in PHX. Businesses around tax time want to
spend the rest of their budget so they are likely candidates to get
something on the cheap or even free.
