Sounds like regular Mac OS would suit your needs? if just file sharing with other macs? small enough to make it a print server too (share a printer) if you like. If only using macs this would be easiest.
As far as Linux goes that would run on this machine, that would depend on what you want to do and if you want to provide more then just file sharing services for more then one type of platform. Also all of these services and other programs are free.
I like Ubuntu:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases...
(this is the long term support (LTS) version).
Pick the power PC version. If your computer does not have a lot of hardware resources you can run Xbuntu which uses the XFCE desktop.
You can add services like FTP, Samba, SSH, etc.....I assume you are somewhat familiar with Linux based on the question? Some experience might be required depending on what you will be doing.
Using regular Ubuntu you will have a graphical front end unlike the sever edition of ubuntu which is fine, but does not have a native graphical environment just command line, not "the best" as far as servers go.
That is just me, I like Ubuntu, it's what I use.
You could check out Linux Mint as well, http://www.linuxmint.com/
I am not sure which version of mint and other distros you would use for a powerpc type computer, someone else might have to chime in to answer that.
They are quite a few distros/flavors out there to choose from...........
