For New World Macs running OS X, you have to wipe the disk, partition 
(using the Mac OS X Disk Utility) and re-install OS X. A pain I know, 
but HFS+ (the file system OS X uses) isn't resizeable as yet. (I think 
there are some commercial OS X apps that can do this, but haven't tried 
them myself.)
Don't know about macs running OS 9.
The vast majority of G3 Macs are 'New World' - the only ones that are 
problematical are the beige G3s. It is possible to install kubuntu on 
those: see
