>> >>DO NOT INSTALL 10.2.8 PULLED BY APPLE >> Just to add another data point - I'm running 10.2.8 without any problems, It seems some people have had problems with the Ethernet driver in 10.2.8 but this is easily fixed by restoring the driver from 10.2.7 (I backed up my Ethernet driver before applying the 10.2.8 update just in case, but as it happens I didn't need it.)
