See my previous post -- upgrade path to G3 or G4 still applies.  With a 
G4 upgrade, the right PCI video card and Linux PPC, it just *might* make 
a passable frontend... though bus speed might be a limiting factor.  If 
you have a video card you can use, and can come by a G4 upgrade 
reasonably cheaply, it might be worth a try.  I wouldn't bother spending 
much on it, though, unless you have other uses for it if the frontend 
doesn't pan out (which is pretty likely).
