What's are the major differences between Panther and Tiger? I have 10.3.9 on an old G3 and it's acceptable, but nothing that special. I would try Tiger but I'd expect it to be slower and more bloated on my budget system.
Tiger runs like garbage on G3 machines. It's the first version of the OS that runs slower than the previous one. Spotlight and Dashboard are the two "big" features. For me spotlight is useless because it won't search the system folders (I still haven't figured out how to get around this in Tiger). Dashboard is kind of neat for a litte while, but the general consensus seems to be it's not terribly useful in the long run. CoreImage is pretty cool, but on a G3 I doubt it would work very well. At release time Tiger was also kind of buggy, though that may have been cleaned up by now.
