I understand it feels a bit wrong to throw away working hardware. 
There's always the option of Linux if you just need those commands?

And if you upgrade to 10-year-old hardware you're probably saving that 
from being thrown away too...

If someone wanted to put in the work to fork base prior to the removal 
of the 10.4 workarounds and curate a tree of ports that are known to 
work on Tiger (or even older), that would be fine.
