Can they run linux?

Steven,
At the moment Im not sure of the exact specs of the remaining machines. The machines can run OSX and certainly classic. See a snippet from the Apple website below:
Not sure about Linux.

Additional Information
Usually, the earliest version of Mac OS X that a Mac works with is the version it ships with.
Computers with processor upgrade cards are not supported with Mac OS X. Although Mac OS X may install and appear to work normally on some computers with third-party microprocessor upgrade cards, Apple does not provide technical support or assistance for Mac OS X when used in this way. Contact the manufacturer of your microprocessor upgrade card for support information.
If your Power Macintosh G3 or Macintosh Server G3 computer has a build-to-order (BTO) 128-Bit 2D/3D Professional Graphics Accelerator Card, see also "Mac OS X 10.0: 128-Bit 2D/3D Professional Graphics Card Causes Kernel Panic".
Additionally, the computer should have:
128 MB RAM (memory) or more for Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier.
At least 1.5 GB free hard disk space. Note: For Mac OS X 10.2 or later, 3.0 GB is the recommended minimum. The exact amount required depends on your computer and how you install Mac OS X (default versus custom installation, for example).
Mac OS 9.1 or later for Classic applications."--FROM the APPLE web site.
