A friend of mine recently loaded YDL4 on his Bondi blue iMac (the first
gen) and said that he was having problems with video and sound. When he
loaded YDL3 everything worked like a charm.
Be it that I don't really care for RedHat, I would suggest that you
check out Ubuntu for PPC. Everything in it is _very_ current and if you
have used Debian you will be right at home with Ubuntu - it's basically
Debian with current software and a 6 month release cycle (correct me if
I'm wrong). I tested the Ubuntu PPC live CD on an iMac DV SE (400MHz
slot-loading dvd) and everything worked flawless.
