Tiger is faster on old machine in my experience and you might be able
to get it installed using XPostFacto, but my experience of OS X is
that it gets faster with each successive release (you want to see how
long it takes to do ANYTHING on my B&W under 10.1.7?!) so otherwise
Panther is a good choice. That said, whichever version you choose, OS
X will feel much slower in terms of UI responsiveness than 9 on any
relatively elderly Mac without a CPU & Graphics upgrade (which
needless to say isn't possible on a Clamshell!)

Is it practical to install osX on this machine? It would solve the
browser
problem mentioned in my earlier email.
Which version of X would tax this low end system least? I can
install any of
them. It has built in usb but no firewire and cd but not DVD
(which would
preclude an easy Tiger install.)
