[DM-MUG] iBook G4 & 10.5

[Geoffrey Stevens]

Hi Guys,
I saw your conversation, I also have a G4 e-mac (cpu at 1 GHz-640 MB) running OS X 10.3.9. I want to upgrade to tiger. But my copy of tiger is in Arizona on an IMAC, out of reach presently. What I would really like is to buy a new copy of panther and run on both machines.
If I read correctly - you are saying one can run 10.5 on a ibook G4. Is that the same as 10.5 on a e-mac G4?
