Okay soo.. I am just curious if anyone has any insight on what distro I should use? I was thinking "Lawless PPC".. I also have a desktop if this is unable to be used I'll post desktop specs.. would now but I'm in class

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could let me know where to go from here if it is do able or what to do first.. anything.. I have read guides and am still kind of lost..

Thanks in advance!

I higly recommend you to use 10.5.x Leopard.
Not only that it is easier to use it in a stable way, as the Voodoo Kernel allows you to stay without patching CPUIDs of your system - you'll also be able to use macvidia package to gain full resolution - graphic accerlation is not possible on that gfx chipset - but that might be recompensed by the fact, that your wireless card will work.

If you are looking for distro based setup method, I would recommend "iPC OSx86 Universal 10.5.6 PPF5 Final Release" - through I am no fanboy of that way of installaton in general this is in my opinion the best one made so far.

AMD Phenom II X4 955 - ASRock AM3A770DE - 8GB DDR3-1333 - Radeon HD 5570 1GB passiv - BCM4318 802.11b/g - Snow Leopard Retail
+++
AMD Phenom X3 8450 - ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA (BIOS L2.39) - 4GB DDR2-800 - Radeon HD 4650 512MB - Snow Leopard Retail (retired) / OpenBSD
