OSX uses OS9 for its "classic mode," since not all Mac apps support OSX
(yet. or ever.) If you know you'll only be using things that are OSX
compatible (or you can compile yourself), then you don't need OS9. If you
think you'll ever be using anything from the Classic Mac realm, I'd leave
it installed.

I love OSX, though. It was a great day when I was able to bring up a 
command line from an Apple interface. Two great tastes together. I hear 
that Jaguar is supposed even better, getting even closer to the potential 
that is OSX. Figures that Apple is quickly getting close to the perfect 
OS (*dons flame retardant gear*).
