The 7300 is a powersurge machine if I recall.  I was able to boot linuxppc
on it when I tried it a few years ago.  The problem I had was that the 
hardware address doesnt show up correctly under macos.  The real mac
address can be obtained from within openfirmware or you can grab it
with a packet filter.
