I got a G3 iMac, and I upgraded the OS from 9.2.2 to 10.4.2, now what can I delete thats just junk? It doesn't have much left (6gb) out of the 12gb hd. Anything obvious to delete?

You can reclaim some space be running 'Delocalizer' from http://www.bombich.com/software/local.html which allows you to remove foreign language 'stuff' though I don't know if it works with Tiger - anyone know out there?...
Also if you are careful you can remove the unused printer drivers from ~/Library/Printers - though you may wish to keep them if you are considering a new printer in the near future and have no idea what you are likely to buy.
As for OS 9.2.2 - I would say keep it unless you are absolutely sure you have no intention of running any classic apps again.
You can delete old apps you no longer use or any OS9 apps which you have OSX equivalents for e.g. IE, Outlook etc from the OS9 apps folder.

Internet Explorer. 
Languages and printer packs are good to trash. Any Apple applications that aren't needed can also be trashed (you can add them later if needed). GarageBand and iDVD are two space hogs.
Finally, you might consider getting an external hard drive and using that for space. Get a Firewire one and make it bootable.
