nice score. Ram ceiling makes it kinda feel anemic memory wise. Try getting one of those G4 400Mhz upgrades they have for the 86/9600 Systems Those are pretty cheap on eBay. BTW it is always best to run it with the full RAM. You will need every bit of it if you decide to put the first version of OS X on it (or 10.2, not sure about 10.3. Might do it but the swapping on the drive will suck) Or put OS 9 or something. Haiku is nice, but it's gonna make it limited if someone doesn't know how BeOS works. So unless you can teach them, or they know how, do a dual-boot system (I suggest 8.5 or 9. I would rather stay away from 9. 8.6 would be best
Linux wouldn't be bad if you kept it for yourself. ;)
There's no way in Hell i'd put OS X on a Tanzania based Mac, anyway. So long as you have at least 64MB, IMHO OS 9.1 is the sweet spot for 603e based Macs, of course, it will love you if you have more than 64MB.
