Running Jaguar on iMac Tangerine (Rev C) G3 PPC 266 MHz 288MB RAM 500 MB Swap partition No OS 9!
It's running Apache server, MySQL, Firewall, Snort, smtp on top of all the other toy apps. So far no problem. Runs about as well as it did with Linux though virtually memory management leaves a lot to be desired. I run developer tools and STILL don't have many problems - just quit out of iCal, iChat, browsers, usual extraneous stuff. I've gone to the store and all teh modern iMacs are oodles faster. But I'm not complaining at all. That's a GREAT DEAL. Do take advantage of it.
