I don't mean to pick on you so please do not take this that way, but I always shake my head when people asked if Mac OS X "works yet," Its been out for two years and gone under one major revision as well has having a major feature update.
But you deserve an answer. 10.1.5 is a strong and completed OS, its very nice, its stable, and the features and speed are up to snuff. That said, you will want 10.2, 10.2 is a huge jump, many people are grading 10.1.x against 10.2.x, my answer to that is that its the same as grading 8.6 against 7.6.1 and saying that 7.6.1 just isn't all there because it doesn't do all 8.6 does ... well, this is true I suppose. But the weird part is that no one would ever make that comparison because its clear they are very different revisions. I think the answer to that is the naming scheme. People see 10.X revisions as still part of 10, where as 7.6 was part of System 7 and 8.6 was part of System 8. No matter what hardware you run it on 10.2 seems to give at least some of a speed increase, more on some systems than others but always some. Also, as it was a feature update 10.2 does bring numerous changes and improvements and new options [some are returns from Classic Mac OS, many are completely new]. Hope that helps.
