[X4U] Updating to 10.4.2: yes or no? Mixed feeelings

[Adam Bass]

Hello Germain,

I would definitely recommend upgrading to 10.4.2. I upgraded and did  
not experience any problems. The update fixes many bugs, and provides  
a much nicer way to organize and install Widgets. Many people always  
suggest to repair permissions with Disk Utility before and after  
updating. You can do this just to be safe, but I have never done this  
and I've never experienced major problems with any OS X upgrade.

Hope that helps. :)

Adam
