Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Up and Running
Submitted by todd on Sun, 2007-10-28 23:10
FedEx delivered my Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard box this past Friday. I installed it on my 1st generation MacBook that evening. The update took quite a while (around 2 hours). But, the system looks quite stable after the upgrade. BTW, Apple issued its first 10.5 update the next day.
Haven't done much with Leopard except confirm that major components seem to work and fire up VMware Fusion to see how Fedora 7 (Linux) runs. I'm still running the 1.0 release. I hope to get some time to download and try out the 1.1 Release Candidate soon (more about that on my TO-Tech.com/blog).
If you've run into Freeware or Open Source app issues with Leopard, please let me know!

I've alrealdy upgraded my Macbook to Leopard and so far it's working very well. The upgrade went easily and the tools are pretty cool. The ones I liked most are the new Finder that imports the Cover Flow function from iTunes and the new iChat which allows the insertion of images and films. If you haven't upgraded yet, there are some interesting videos I've found that show Leopard's new tools and effects:
