So, what was the trick to getting Leopard installed on your 800? I've got a Dual G4 500 that I'd love to use as a Time machine back up server, but I can't get the darn thing to install.

Leopard install was excellent at first. I purchased the family pack and installed on my MacPro (which I swear took less that 30 minutes). I installed it on my MacBook Pro and then on my iMac G5 (first gen.) The iMac booted up but would not let me login. I checked Apple's discussion forum and it was apparently a problem others were having too. The fix for the problem was extremely frustrating and unacceptable in my opinion - but having that behind me and actually seeing Leopard run very well on my machines I really love this version!
I think Apple hit a home-run with 10.5. I think that 2008 is going to be a very interesting year for watching Apple's market share.

The one the that I've found that isn't documented is that 2-finger right click works on iBook G4's 1.33ghz. This wasn't supported before, it is now.

Taylor, That's a pretty old machine that you have there, probably purchased in 2000 or 2001. OWC [Other World Computing at macsales.com] sells some very inexpensive CPU upgrades [as well as some costly ones] that are incredibly easy to install, by removing 3 screws. I bought a 450MHz G4 in 1999 and now have a 1.3 GHz G4 upgrade, making it purr like a Tiger. I may not upgrade to Leopard, but I am thinking about it.
