I don't know why you decided to bring this up in this thread, but I found out that my PowerBook G4 1.67GHz is actually faster than X1000 in most tasks. I also have some benchmark results to back this up.
If being "outdated" means "faster", as well as "cheaper", where's the problem again? Support? I doubt A-Eon or Amigakit can compete with apple repair network...
Currently yes, but hardware side is hardware side. On Debian Wheezy where all RAM and both cores are utilized test are more realistic.

MorphOS is way more developed and optimized, thanks to much earlier start of development and no waste of time in complete OS 3.x port to PPC.
I have nothing against MOS, contrary I am sad its not OS 4.x just because we would be closer to OS 5.x if it was and we wouldnt argue at all. When I had momey to buy PPC equipped Classic MOS 2.x ceased support, when Peg2 became cheap SAM and other new HW arrived and now I do save money for X1000 as well as PPC Macs have no battery or spare parts support at all, and are with with AGP, slow mem, EIDE ATA etc.
MOS should go X1000 and Trevor can donate a board.
Apple repair net no longer deals with anything PPC for few years, so A-EON and AmiKit are better
then 3rd party rip offs that charge $200 for laptop battery.
I recently had PPC G4 Laptop selling for 50 euros with no battery and I declined the offer when realized
how much 512MB additional RAM and battery costs + postage + import costs to non EU country
(plus 100 euros for MOS). Even I would love to have Mint 11, MacOS X and MOS on one machine,
I prefered high end workstation with OS 4.2 and Mint 11
