Any suggestions for where to purchase Linux/PPC 2000 from ? The cheapest I
found on the net was approx £40. To be fair, this did include some sort of
printed documentation and a T-shirt, but I'd rather just have the CD.

I downloaded and burned the ISO image from
http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.linuxppc.org/linuxppc-2000-Q4/install/Macintosh/

However, this image gives read errors when I use the installer. The image was
downloaded in one session, with no breaks, hence the reason why I'd prefer to
purchase a copy.
