For an iBook G3, which has a PowerPC CPU you need the PowerPC port of Ubuntu. I believe the latest release that supported PPC is 10.10, and would probably be better off with 10.04 (since it has LTS support).

The ISOs can be found here: And the image needed would be the powerpc images.

Links for the PPC downloads are maintained on this page . The one for xubuntu 10.04 is missing though so I'll give it to you here:

For 11.04 and 11.10 you'll have to install via the mini.iso. There are detailed instructions linked on the downloads page. For a G3 ibook you may prefer to install lubuntu or xubuntu.
