PS. I managed to install Tiger to the iBook G3 via SCSI disk mode: it is pretty slow but usable.
That's pretty amazing since no iBook ever came with SCSI ;-) I presume you mean Firewire disk mode.
Was Panther on the iBook before Tiger? If so, is Tiger slower than Panther had been?
I'm wondering whether to upgrade some older iMacs currently running Panther, and I've heard Tiger runs faster than (or at least as fast as) Panther, so this would be feasible. Once we upgrade, I prefer that the systems we support (father's, elderly friend's from church) also be upgraded to the same OS as it makes support over the phone much easier to do!
Tiger runs noticeably faster on my Pismo than Panther which was noticeably faster than Jag.
Officially per our campus Apple engineering contact, Tiger should run faster on supported systems provided you have enough ram. He says 256 is ok if all you want to do is boot it up and have it sit there, but reasonable use needs 512M.
