Ubuntu, unless you're really seriously opposed, in which case, Debian.
If you're not man enough for Debian (and I'm not), Xubuntu or Mint.
How well does Ubuntu 11.10 run on G5s?

seems to indicate that the latest 11.10 is available althought as a
"mini" ISO, whatever that is. Presumably it's enough to run an
installer over the net from? If so that's a fairly modern OS.
Might be worth playing with, but I think I'll need to move up from the
40G and 80G SATA drives mine came with to something like a 2TB drive for
all the OS's I'm after. :)
