I have seen X run on a 300MHz 604e and it ran far better than I thought it would. Its useable if you don't use too many apps at one time. It wasn't as bad as you described.

Oh, I missed this.
10.1.5 *will* run on a 604e, but it is agonisingly slow. You really really really need a G3 if you're going to use this for anything but proving it's possibl.
I installed 10.1 on a 180 MHz 604e, it took 20 hours to install.
Opening a program, any program, took half a minute. Once it was up, the
GUI was amazingly responsive so long as you didn't do things like try and
use menus (oops), but it was NOT usable.
