I cloned (using Disk Utility) a PB G4 867 (Titanium) to a G4 MDD DP 
1.25Ghz. Disparate systems clone fine, as long as you either have the 
latest version or you do an archive install (preserve user data) 
afterward.
OS X is much better about hardware differences than 9 was .The only 
problem you'll have is with systems that are released with a 
slightly-later-than-current OS. There are none at the moment.

Command-drag the icon off the menu bar.
