What i can tell is that is you intend to put OS X in an old mac is to reserve a partition for it in the first 8 Gb (even a little less like 7,9 Gb because some had problems with strictly 8Gb), then 1 Gb for OS 9.1 (all the 9 systems i use have no more than 1 Gb and are half full) then a partition for your Linux (or swap this two last system partitions if linux have some limitations like OS X) and partition the rest between app/data. Works perfect at home (several little system partitions) to repair/rebuild partition systems faster (well it works perfectly at work too ..)
