Browsing one of my "haunts" today I obtained a Retail Version of OS X (10.0), in box, with license and all. Now, what to do!?
I would like to learn it on my trusty desktop before thinking about installing it on a Wallstreet/300. The package says "Processor upgrade cards not supported" though I know that many folks run it on such machines.
This will likely be an exercise in frustration, but see the XPostFacto stuff on OWC's web site. I don't recall offhand if the 6360 is supported or not...
And 10.0 is gawdawful slug of a beta version. If you do install it you will want to upgrade it to 10.1.5 (doable via downloads, iirc)
If you want to actually *use* OSX, get 10.2. That will run reasonably well on your Wallstreet if it has enough memory (you want 256 megs minimum to have a usable OSX system)
The difference between 10.0 and 10.2 is like the difference between 6.0.8 and 8.6...

Actually, updating to 10.1.5 via downloads is not doable. I though so when I got a CD for 10.0.3. For 10.0, the max version is 10.0.4.
OWC had a 10.1 Update CD for $9.95, so I bought one. Now I'm up to 10.1.5, and like it a lot. Most web browsers will run with 10.1.5, with the exception of Safari. I've got Mozilla, OmniWeb, Camino, and IE on this one. I also have CorelDraw Graphics Suite 11 installed. It's slow on this machine, but usable. Web development stuff like PHP wants 10.2 - you have to scrounge for an older binary or compile your own.
The difference between 10.0.3 and 10.1 was similar to 6 and 8.1 or so. :>
