[NBLUG/talk] recommend distro for ancient iMac

I was just given an old iMac 233mhz (160mb ram).
I'm mulling over the idea of hanging a printer off
of it, and having it do some music streaming
to the rest of the house.  (shifting lightweight
tasks to it)

OS X is just going to bog on this thing, so I'm
wondering what PPC distro's (besides Debian)
I should consider.

I'd be curious to hear of any other ancient
iMac owners that put Linux on their boxes
(and of some of the uses - basically, how
have you divvied up machine tasks on your
home network?)
