[X-Newbies] When to install Tiger on a new computer

[Rodney A.Hoiseth]

Hi, there,

I've been lurking for a while (over here in Japan) but this is my first 
SOS. This seems like a great list and I'm sure I'm going to be glued to 
it for a while, since I'm finally making the switch from 9.2.1 to OS X.

My new Mac mini came with Panther (10.3.7) installed plus a disc for 
installing Tiger.
I'm not in any big hurry to install Tiger unless it's recommended but 
I'm wondering when is the optimum time, in terms of learning curve, to 
move up to Tiger.

Secondly, I have a lot of data on a PowerBook G3 (Wallstreet) that I 
need to transfer over. I'm preparing to do it through File Sharing over 
my Ethernet/router network. Is there a better way (since the PowerBook 
is not Firewire-capable)?

Also, I have lots of Eudora filters, addresses, etc. on the Wallstreet 
tthat I'd like to import into Mail. Is there simple way to do that?

I hope I've provided enough information.
