I know of several folks who are running 10.2.x on RevA iMacs without 
issue, but you're certainly going to have to add some extra RAM :)

FWIW I have an original Wallstreet G3-233 powerbook, which I've 
upgraded to 256mb. It runs OS X surprisingly well - especially for 
simple stuff such as mail, web browsing and small apps like AppleWorks.
