We've installed 10.3 on two additional computers this week. One, an older iMac DV 400 Mhz G3 and my wife's iBook (800 Mhz G3). The installs went fairly smoothly. No problems really on the older iMac. I'm surprised that it runs as well as it does, considering this computer only has 256 Mb of RAM. I set it up with three users (myself and the two kids), and the fast user switching seems to work fine. The only "disappointing" part of the latter is that the video card doesn't support Quartz Extreme so you don't get to see the cool cube rotation. The only thing that slowed down the installation was having to change permissions on many of their files once they were moved into their own home folders.
On the iBook install, initially every Microsoft application crashed shortly after starting up. I fixed permissions and rebooted and immediately had the flashing finder--which reminded me that I hadn't removed that old Haxie for font smoothing. Zapped that and everything was back to normal. The next morning, MS Entourage wouldn't open any email, but a quick rebuild of the database took care of that problem.
