Ah, it's a good thing that money is going to a good cause, since that machine seems a bit on the shoddy side.

According to the OSX recommendations that Chris posted, no, it won't run OSX properly with that amount of ram. You'd probably be able to get Ubuntu working with some satisfaction if you remember the fact that your not using top-notch hardware.

Check under the battery and any other easily accessed panels on the bottom of the laptop. Most likely, one will have access to ram and one will have access to the HDD. Unless apple didn't anticipate user upgrades.

In terms of the optical drive, I have a feeling its a proprietary drive, maybe if you post a picture someone would be able to tell you. (weren't g3 iBooks the colored apple shaped ones?)

mmm.. Juicy flame bait. Seriously, that was a stupid thing to say, just because you don't like mac's that doesn't mean they don't have a decent product.
