since my MDD is able to run OS9 and concidering i have a OS 9 CD i got with my iMac G3 years ago i was wondering is there would be any use for setting up a OS 9 OS X Dual Boot. As far as i Know i have nothing compatible with OS 9
Got a tip for us?

I just went back to OS9.2.2 this afternoon. I'm still configuring it, but i like it. My Pismo, albeit maxed out (aside from G4 and SSD) was sluggish even with basic tasks as office of basic browsing on Tiger.
Any retail OS 9 disc doesn't have the needed things for a MDD installation. Only the copy from the MDD's restore discs will work.
If you don't need it for programs you already possess I could only think of Gaming or curiosity. Of course you can do several things with OS9, but why, when you are doing it already under OS X?
It matters. Especially for the newer G4 Macs.
Leopard doesn't have a Classic mode. Tiger was the last to have that feature.
Ubuntu 10.04 i got working on my eMac no problems at all. what is the highest Ubuntu version to work on G4 MDD?
based on the eMac i was told there was little success getting anything higher than 11.10 to boot
Ubuntu usually works out of the box for most home computers. As far as Ubuntu working the iMac G4, it worked pretty well with no needed changes.
