I entered the world of Apple hardware about 3 months ago now, with a second-hand iBook2. It was a 500mHz, 256mb, ATI Rage 128 model, with a standard CD-Rom drive. I spent the first few days trying to tweak Mac OS X to my liking, then a few further weeks installing and learning to use the applications I thought I'd need. Chimera, BBEdit, the developer tools, even the Fink X server so I could use Gaim.

A lot of the gripes expressed by the author are legit. Unless you are running at least a G4, MacOSX is just bearable to use. It will run fine on G3s as long as their is not much heavy processing involved.
Yellow Dog is fine but not as fast as MacOS 9 on the same hardware.
If you plan on running MacOSX, G4 is the way to go.
