I have successfully used debian. However, if you're new to Linux, the installation might be a little scary at first. I recently installed Mandrake on a friend's computer (I think it was a pismo) and been able to run pd and few other audio apps without a fuss. Mandrake is pretty user-friendly.
I used to run YellowDog on an old PPC 7200 (actually, still use it for burning CDs) but I was not impressed with that distro. But again, they might have improved. It's been a longtime.
I had debian happilly running on an iMac 350MHz. With blackbox as a WM to minimize the load.
