I have YDL 3.1 on my PowerBook G3 (Pismo, 500 MHz) and it has really resurrected this trusty old warhorse for me. As Mac OSX has gotten bigger and more complex, relying more and more on newer architecture for the eye candy, I have found the G3 processor and 8 MB VRAM just don't work as well. Since transitioning to OSX on my PowerMac I just can't go back to OS 9. YellowDog Linux to the rescue! The snappiness is back and better than under OS 9, way better than OS X.
For your iBook I highly recommend YDL. Dual boot with OS X gives you the best of both worlds and for me was simple. YDL's graphic installer holds your hand every step of the way.
