Although technically a "supported" platform, I do think there are challenges to using this system for OS X.
Apple "officially" lists a Power Mac G3 as "supporting" Panther, but right
at the end of the list of requirements is built-in USB. Last time I
checked, there wasn't such a thing on >any< G3.
I am also getting differing opinions on the useability of OS X running on a 500 mhz G3. Some say it is just fine, some say it is unuseable.
Blue & White G3s have built-in USB.
I run OS X on a Beige G3/500 and it is more than just usable, it is enjoyable to use. What makes the difference is a 7200 RPM HD and a Rage128 video card or better set to Thousands of Colors.
