Linux on old Macs?

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I want to extend the life of useful, easy to repair older Macs but need a modern OS for useful software. What I need to know is how practical installing Linux would be and which distros work best.

=== Update ===
Chris: The latest version does not like my ROM but I am able to run 6.1 from the cd. After checking it out for a week or so if all goes well I will do a full install. Thanks to all for your input. Ralph
