I don't know if it's causing your problem, but with only 512mb you may as well upgrade to 1GB or more. If you do get it working, you would notice a major difference in performance.
Need help on aple pcc ubuntu install!

Now i have a Debian desktop and everything runs ok exept no flash player and is a litle slow and was able to get firefox plug in for flash Player, it opens but a litle freezing and no sound it might be due low mem ram ,any clues thanks.

Nice! I can't tell you for sure if the low amount of RAM is causing your freezing and sound issues, but it would probably be a good idea to upgrade anyway. Make sure that you get the right kind, though, because I know that some iMac G5s used DDR ram and others used DDR2. Your freezing and sound issues might just be caused by problems with the actual flash plugin, however, because the only flash plugins available for PPC Macs are third-party plugins.
do you know if this the right memory ram for my mac ppc g5

I wouldn't get that; it's a no-name brand, so you never know what you'll get. Have you confirmed that you have the iSight version of the iMac G5? If you do, then you should get this:
