I pulled it out as a temporary substitute for my dead Lombard and it's currently running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn off the live CD. Swiped 512MB from my DA to max it out. It's running Ubuntu and Firefox ... adequately.
I have to download the firmware update to install OS X. Trick is, I can't see the local hard drive from inside Ubuntu, so I've got nowhere to save it. I've just downloaded the update on my girlfriend's laptop and I'm going to try transferring it via a USB stick.
The notes for the firmware update say I must run it from OS 9.1 or higher. The iMac currently has OS 9.0.4 on it. I do have the 9.1 and 9.2 updaters somewhere, but can anyone advise whether the updater will baulk at 9.0.4?
