As others have said in this thread, MorphOS is worth a look if you haven't tired already. I have it dual-booted with OS X on a PowerBook G4, so have the option to use both. I tend to use MorphOS a lot more than OS X, but I have a background using Amigas so am quite happy fiddling around with it, getting various old 68k apps running on it etc. It can be quite a productive system once you've found the various bits of software to suit your needs. The browser is quite up-to-date too, if that's important.
