I understand that your machine is stable. There's no need to flame. My copy of 10.2 will not install correctly on my B&W, whether it's a problem with 10.2 or a problem with the combination of hardware in my B&W I haven't sorted out yet. My box is very unstable. Sometimes it won't even finish the installer without crashing.
I might tweak some of the UNIX settings, if I could keep it stable long enough. :-) Just remember, because you've had a pleasant experience doesn't mean that those of us who have hit a few bumps in the road are Apple haters of liars.
