I've run Mac OS 10.0.0.4 on my iBook SE (Firewire) as well as 9.0.4, Darwin with X Window System and Debian Linux. Darwin and Linux were the fastest, followed by 9.0.4. Mac OS 10 was barely usable on my poor 466mhz G3. I've seen Jaguar (10.2) on a G4 and its drool-tastic but I still imagine Linux or just Darwin would be faster. I'd like to see if 10.2 is any faster on my iBook. If someone with a G3 466 has tried it please respond and lemme know how it went.
