Considering GNU/Linux on PPC is very commonly-discussed here, it occurred to me asking everyone their favorite user experience could be of great value. See, even if we pick, say, a distro designed to be more accessible/useful, we, as the end-user, still have no idea what version number does the job better. And short of testing every version of every distro, it seems like it'd be a great opportunity to ask everyone here what their best GNU/Linux experience (as an end-user) was, or is.
Nevermind how difficult it was or wasn't installing your favorite distro -- just tell us which one provided your favorite experience once it was all set up and going. The distro and its precise version can be ancient and abandoned, like Yellow Dog Linux, or new and shiny, like Debian Sid. Everything counts.
So I will start.
I barely played with GNU/Linux on PowerPC, but Ubuntu 9.04 worked beautifully for me when I needed it to use GParted. It was all on a Mac mini G4.
