OS X Leopard on a G4 iBook...

[snags]

Anyone running OS X Leopard (v.10.5) on a G4 PPC? Does it run significantly slower than Tiger? Memory hungry? Any other problems I should be aware of? Thanks.

Minesweeper? Heck, we'll have you playing Tetris before the year is out.

Chuck, that 'hackintosh' jobbie - would that affect mouse & kybd sharing too?

i.e. I currently, and painstakingly, use Synergy between a PC and a G3, would installing OSX on the PC do away with the need for that useless, but entirely necessary, Synergy software?

I'm not going to do it, just curious, lol

I'm not here anymore, as a Linux user I've sauntered of nonchalantly :)

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but if I've got it right then you have a G3, a PC, 2 monitors and 1 keyboard mouse?

If you installed OSX onto the PC then it could do away with the synergy but you'd end up as a dual boot system so you'd have to restart every time, which is probably more of a pain than synergy!

Have you considered a KVM? or as another option virtualising an OSX install on your PC (you will need a meaty PC with a Intel CPU and plenty of ram) but then you could run OSX in a window.

Before you get a good kicking (see above cartoon) ;-p

Correct, but I don't use the G3 often enough to warrant spending anything on a KVM.
