Old Macs are crap...

You will only be able to use BeOS with it if it has PCI slots, but then again there is now very little PPC software written for BeOS.

I have an IMac and and the PPC model right before it, and no thankx to apple not releasing info on there hardware, they serve as nothing but dead weight. I'd be happy to run Mac OS 8 or 9 on them if the OS was anywhere near as kool and responsive as Amiga OS, or even Winblows for that matter. I could run winblows 98 on a machine of the same specs a LOT faster without having tons of low memory issues, and all the crap that goes along with using Mac OS.

OSX would be an option, but alas, like all Linux distros with a decent GUI is bloatware and would be ungodly sloooooowwwwwww.

I'm keeping mine around just incase AROS ever gets ported to them.
