Hi, I've bought a used ibook G3 for my daughter. It currently has 10.2, but I wanted to buy Tiger. I've seen German new OS X for sale. Would I just be able to choose english installation from the menu and get a normal english installation?

G3 800, 384 ram 30 gig
 
There's no "German" version per se. All Mac OS X installation disks are international - and English is always the default language (which can't be uninstalled, either). But on a G3/800 with 384 MB of RAM, I'd suggest Mac OS X 10.3.9 tops. If you upgrade the iBook to 640 MB RAM, Tiger would be fine for most things, but with less RAM, Tiger is much slower than Panther (10.3.x).
 
You have to make sure that what you get is not an OS that came with a specific machine, btw.: You *NEED* the retail version of either Panther or Tiger in order to install it on that iBook.
