Hello again guys!

First at all thanks for all the earlier replies about the ibook (I already ordered a clamshell and can’t wait to get it).

Now i want to buy an OS X to install in my clamshell.

Initially I’ll have only 128mb of RAM (I’ll need to save some more before a proper RAM upgrade, as my Phd fees are quite ‘demanding’), so which one will perform better?
Jaguar or Panther? (I don’t know much about Aqua, but everyone seems to think that is the worst so far). And I guess that Tiger is too much for such a little machine.
In terms of price I guess that jaguar will be much cheaper, as is also older.

Also, as I’ll have either an external cdrw-dvd or internal (if I manage to swap the cd), does any of these OS have embedded any DVD software player and CD burning programs?

Well, something else that I’ll need is some sort of office program, but I read somewhere that OpenOffice X is quite good, so I can save some pennies in buying it from Microsoft.

Well, that’s all folks.
Thanks a lot in advance for your replies.
Jon
