10.5 requires an 867mhz or faster processor, it'll have checks to see what
hardware you've got before it'll install. You could use xpostfacto to get
around it but I'm not sure you'd want to.
My wife has a G3 iBook she uses at work and we're running into an unforseen
issue with it in that it cannot run the latest versions of iTunes because its
got 10.3 but with only 128MB of RAM it can't go to 10.4... I accidently put the
latest iTunes on her PC when I built it and now I need to uinstall that and
find an older one for the PC that will work with her mac.
I hate to upgrade the mac as its old and only plays music for her second
massage room. At some point that room is going to get a robotic massage chair
at which point it'll get a newer computer as it'll have a video display...

You can run 10.5 on that, I think, but I'd not do that unless you have a FAST
processor and maxed out ram.
I
run 10.4.11 on mine with a 500Mhz G4 and 1G of ram (as of last night).
Works pretty good, especially since I discovered last night I'd set the
speed jumpers wrong at it was only running at 350 MHz.....
10.2.x
is a slug, and 10.4 is nice. Let me know if you cannot find disks,
Apple no longer sells it, you have to get them used on eBay. There is
a work-around for machine specific disks.
