I'm pretty sure that you need OS 9.0-9.2.2 to use XPostFacto.  (OS X was 
released immediately after 9.2.2).  I included a link to the download site 
that apparently got scrubbed from your post, though the link showed up in 
mine, so I'm not sure what happened.  Here it is again:

You can read about all the details there.  It does appear to work quite well 
on the more recent machines like the beige G3, especially if you've added a 
faster processor.  YMMV on the older machines like the 9600, etc.  
Personally, except as a sort of practical joke, or for a lark, I wouldn't 
bother installing OS X on an old machine like that.  I'd do a minimal OS 9 
install (because you have to have MacOS on an OldWorld machine to boot Linux) 
and then install YDL or Debian.  OS X is horribly bloated; my dual G5 
machine, which is still running 10.3.9, chokes regularly doing the simplest 
things like web browsing.  Linux is so much faster and leaner that it's 
really quite unbelievable.
