Adam,
I (or rather the kids and the wife) got two iMinis and one iBook
with G4. They all run 10.5.4 happily on their 1GB of RAM...
greetings, el

To Stephen's credit, Apple will no longer support PowerPC chips
(such as his
G4) in the next operating system (Snow Leopard), so some sort of
switchover
will be necessary in order to maintain SOME sort of state-of-the-art
software packaging for PPC-based Mac users in the near future.
Also, it is important to note that Leopard on a G4 iBook would
probably run
disgustingly (read: unusably) slow unless the memory is upgraded: It
shipped
with 256MB of RAM (and that money would be better saved for a new
computer),
and Leopard (on my Macbook Pro) is currently using about 700MB for the
operating system. Switching to linux and X-windows allows for an old
system
to be, in a word, functional.
