I am thinking about goin to OS X this fall.  Probably after Panther is

There's no official announcement on whether or not Panther (10.3) will 
run on all legacy model G3's or not. Been various rumors, but Apple's 
official "Panther" sneak preview;  http://www.apple.com/macosx/panther/ 
 has no mention of compatibility yet. Best guess is it is at least as 
restrictive as Jaguar.
I had put OS 10.1 on and it was so much more sluggish than OS 9.2.1 
that I
took it off entirely.
By all means install 10.2.6. It's a big speed improvement over 10.1  It 
will run fine on your G3 600 iMac. You can buy 10.2 reasonably now then 
use Apple's software updates to get to 10.2.6
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
My own guesstimate would be that it will run on a G3 600, perhaps with 
some compromises vs a G4 or G5. Try the 10.2.
