Not by a long shot. I recommend you get a new Mac Mini with as much RAM as you can afford, or put in the maximum amount of RAM you can upgrade to in your current machine.

I would at least upgrade to 2GB RAM, if not 4

10.5 is not oficially sold but i'm sure if you call an Apple store or dealer you can snag a copy, you can find them online but usually pretty expensive. Below are the requirements for Leopard (10.5)

A Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or Power PC G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor
512 MB memory or more
A DVD drive for installation
9 GB of available disk space or more
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider, fees may apply.
Some features require Apple's MobileMe service; fees apply.
