Panther Rocks!
posted at 13:14 GMT by T.Whid in /news/twhid/geek
I’ve updated my work machine (1.25GHz G4 sp) to Panther and it was almost pain-free.
Problems:
Needed to re-install Palm software and Logitech mouse software (no big deal). Still having problems browsing the Windows network (but can connect if I know the IP number via Samba) and a problem I’m having where a Lacie external firewire drive refuses to mount persists (must be a hardware issue).
Good things:
Much more polished and fast UI! Everything is much zippier! The updated BBEdit (7.0.4) works like a charm, Photoshop flies, Safari marches on, Eudora? No problems. NetNewsWire works too.
Overall, very, very pleased and the update and it was (almost) totally painless to upgrade (I did an archive and install while saving user settings after I backed up my important files to a network server).
I reccomend to all Mac users. permanent link to this post
