I have multiple G4 MDD machines. One came with Leopard (I had Tiger before on others) and I was happy enough with it that I bought it for all the MDDs in the house. I think that these are great systems, workhorses that are at the top of the performance per $ scale if one can compose such a chart.

I think that's just a waste of hard drive space to have all those systems installed. All you really need is 9 for classic apps and either Tiger or Leopard for OS X apps. It doesn't make much sense to have more than one version of X installed since the later ones can do everything the earlier ones c

The dual 1ghz is one of the ones that can still boot into 9, I think. If it is, you should have no trouble running Leopard and 9.2.2. Since it's bootable to 9, you don't need Classic mode. You get the best of all worlds with that setup with only the minor inconvenience of having to reboot to use cl
