Upgrading to 10.5 is indeed doable. As noted by Richard, though,
it is sadly the last release version of OSeX that will support PPC.

I just inherited my partner's PPC Mac Mini when she upgraded
to an new intel mini and  I did the update to 10.5 without problems.
Only difficulty was acquiring the disk, so  I can work with you off
list for assistance with obtaining the media.
