Default Where to buy MAC OSX - leopard

I've just been given a Powerbook G4 (PPC), but don't have any software. Been to a few shops, but all I can buy is Snow Leopard - anyone got a copy for sale? They're on ebay, but $200.

Leopard is the final version of Mac OS X to support the PowerPC architecture as Snow Leopard solely functions on Intel based Macs.

Apple states the following basic Leopard system requirements, although, for some specific applications and actions (such as iChat backdrops) an Intel processor is required:

Processor must be any Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 (867 MHz and faster)
DVD drive (for installation of the operating system)
At least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM (1 GB) is recommended for development purposes)
At least 9 GB of disk space available

Yeah cheers I have Tiger and it's missing heaps of features. I'll give piratebay a go and send Apple a cheque.

Alternately you could extract the ISO to a folder and autorun it from there.
