I ran OS X 10.1 on a 604e/200 with 64MB of RAM. Talk about waiting on a miracle happening. It took about 4 hours to install, about 20 mins to boot... but once you got to the desktop it was steady but not all that bad, surprisingly. As long as you only ran 1 app at a time it was fine, and from rooting about in the terminal and enabling the Web Sharing and PHP, it was clear the underlying OS was running just fine it was just struggling with the desktop (which was all rendered in CPU at that stage, especially as it was running on a Rage 128).

10.0 and 10.1 were notorious for their badness even under the best conditions of their day. OS X wasn't considered 'complete' by most Mac users until 10.2. I don't think I could even be bothered to hunt down a 10.0 or 10.1 disc today except maybe for nostalgia purposes. 10.2 can probably run in any machine that will run 10.0 or 10.1 anyway with just minor upgrading at most and is a much better OS. Many hardware drivers and a lot of software don't support older than 10.2 anyway so it's kind of useless to keep using the older versions.
