While there is a version of Linux that runs on a Mac, it is not mainstream.
386, 486, and low end Pentium systems make a far better platform for
teaching Linux. First, you should be able to scrounge one of these systems.
Secondly, all the major distributions support these systems. The only Mac
version I know of is: MkLinux, which I belive does not support the Quadra
630.

The MkLinux Distribution

     (MkLinux is a distribution of Linux for the Power Macintosh 6100, 7100,
or
     8100 series and PowerComputing 100 or 120 machines. In December, the
     MkLinux team released a new update which now supports the PowerMac
7200,
     7500, 7600, 8200, 8500, 9500 and various other PowerMac PCI clones.) 

     The main FTP site: ftp.mklinux.apple.com/pub/
