PowerPC boot CD that can read NTFS partitions

I am looking for a boot CD that will boot a power PC (linux, bsd, OSX) and allow read/write access to HFS+ and NTFS partitions. What is the best option?

"The following article details 6 live cds for the PowerPC: LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS

These include:

And of course, the foundation applications and servers expected for web, database, email, and network services. YDL is built upon the RHEL/CentOS core.

Debian for PowerPC - was first officially released with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (""potato""). Support for PowerPC is maintained in the release 3.1 (""sarge"").

Gentoo Linux for the PowerPC - Gentoo is a versatile and fast, completely free distribution for x86, PowerPC, Sparc and Sparc64 that's geared towards Linux power users.

I can't recommend any of them from my nonexistent experience."
