[Cube] Re: OS X.3 vs. OS X.2?

[Messrs. G & Steel]

Stock 450Mhz Cube with 40GB Seagate HD upgraded to 10.3.9

1. Fastest, easiest install ever
2. Avoided years of problems people reported with 10.2 (puke-ware)
3. Printing to my PCL-based HP5P printer via SAMBA worked
4. Fast boot! Boot time went from about 2min. to a little over 1min.
5. NFS upload slow [better performance using forced NFS UDP mode, there's a
thread on this: 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2005-March/006614.html]



Tried 10.4.1
1. Printing to HP 5P printer broke
2. Bootup back to 10.1.5 sluggishness about 2 min.
3. Spotlight very nice
4. Didn't tried Automator
5. Fast NFS upload

Went back to 10.3.9, I have to agree with Pep.  Maybe if 10.4.5 ever comes
out I'll give it a whirl!

Cheers,
