As someone who used a tray-loading G3 iMac with 10.2 Jaguar, I assure you
there was very little to be happy about. 10.3 Panther was a major
improvement, but was also the last version of OS X supported on that
hardware. 

The hard drive limitation is one annoying part of it. The maximum size of
your startup partition is limited to 8GB, yet Apple recommends you keep
1.5-3GB free.
