I was wondering if it's worth upgrading to 10.4.2 from 10.3.9 that I have on my G5. I'd love to have Expose and Spotlight. Any reason that I shouldn't upgrade? Besides the iApps, I use Office and the Adobe CS a lot.
Also, should I do a clean install, or is a normal upgrade enough?
Thanks for the input.....

No. Don't upgrade. You already have Expose'. You don't really need spotlight.
There. I said it.
Let the Tiger supporters commence!

Don't upgrade, use clean install or archive and install. I think Tiger is so much better than Panther. I haven't had any problems with it and I do like the extra features. Spotlight can be handy as can Dashboard. Safari 2.0 is wonderful and I think Mail is also an improvement.

Hi All,
In the same boat here and not sure if I should switch to Tiger.
What I am considering is adding a new Hd and install that with Tiger and keep Panther on the original Hd.
Have a questiion, if I were to do that will I be able to:
1. Import my mail folders, safari bookmarks and such into Panther's version?
2. Keep my installed apps like Azureus, Thoth, office and such on the Panther Hd and run them from the panther Hd while using the Tiger Hd as my boot Hd.
Thinking of doing step 2 after step 1 as step 2 saves me reinstalling all my apps and prevents me from doing something really dumb that may kill the proper functioning of them.
Thanks for the help and advice.

Actually, 10.4.2's scrollling is noticeably snappier than 10.3.9. OSX is finally where it ought to be in that regard. Let's see if 10.4.2 is as stable as 10.3.9: 10.4/.1 weren't anywhere near that stable for more.

Right, I've just bitten the bullet and ordered Tiger. Not bad for only £58.75!
Right, my question is... best way to install? I archived and installed Panther, but I don't know how much space that eats up on the drive (and if you can get rid of the archived bit if there are no problems?)
Any problems I should know about either?
