Funny, I thought about that. I'm still leaning on the side of this being an issue. 10.5.1 anyone?

I have another machine to upgrade today. I have deliberately avoided installing the Apple Remote Desktop Client update. I suspect that this update has done something to the catalog. I'll try a repair permissions on this ARDAgent free machine to see if it works any better and I will report back here.

I have seen a few workarounds, but I have not tried any of them yet. It is rumored that Apple is still working on this feature and that it may still make an appearance in a future update. I sure hope so after all the hyping of this feature that Apple created.

The menu bar is not transparent on the G4. That might not be such a bad thing though.

Well I upgraded the machine and ran the Repair Permissions without the ARDAgent update installed. The result, the repair still took for ever, the only difference was that there were not any errors pointing to the ARDAgent. Oh well, I bet Apple will get to fixing this slow repair issue fairly quickly.

| I don't care much for the new system folders. The blues just bend all together. It's hard to tell them apart. Quick Look on the other hand is fantastic. My spacebar is going to get some workout over the next few years. I also like a lot of the new features in Mail. I was thinking about switching to Firebird, but this new version put an end to that. |

My super cool looking Leopard box is still sitting on my desk. 
I had to work overtime yesterday and got home late Friday night. I'll probably give it a go after the Jets game. |

As I had a busy weekend and were not able to do much with computers in general and Mac specific, I will buy my new Mini with Leopard coming week. Does anyone who just bought a new Mac know, if it comes with a dedicated Leopard (in my case: specially meant for the Mac Mini) like one had with former Mac's?

hi
sorry if this post is in the wrong part of this forum. However i am concerned that my mac mini which is 1.83Ghz intel core duo and has only 512MB and 80GIG ram, will slow down because of the leopard? should i be worried and get more memory instead of 512 get 1GIG, or should i notice no slowness of speed compared to my current os x tiger operating system.
thanks in advance |

Will it run? Yes. But 512MB isn't going to be sufficient with Leopard once you get rolling. I would suggest moving to at least 1GB, 2GB would be optimal. You will be amazed with the difference in performance. It's well worth the investment.

Blazer is right, and as memory is exceptionally cheap at the moment, now's the time to buy.

| I'd say that even with Tiger, 1GB is a must. |

The latest Onyx 1.8.4b (beta) seems to work fine in 10.5.
I ran it with no apparent problems.
