Archive and reinstall of OS 10.2 takes roughly 1/2 hour and everything is preserved. Have the 10.2.6 combo updater handy and you'll be back and running in < 1 hr.

I have one Question and its rather short...
...How?
It's built into the OSX installer. When you select a disk to install OSX 10.2 on that already has a copy your offered the choice of nuking and paving, or archive and re-install, which replaces the System, but keeps the users and other information from the previous system folder.
I am used to using Archival systems like Symantecs Ghost on Intel based
platforms but have yet to come across a similar system that is Mac based. I'd love to know what I am missing out on.
Carbon Copy Cloner from <http://www.bombich.com> coupled with a bootable Firewire drive: Create a writable disk image of the appropriate size using Disk Copy, use CCC to make a copy of the desired drive to the image. Save image on a bootable Firewire drive, mount and blast onto the target drive with CCC.
With regards the other, no crash logs or anything, just random freezing of the Gui followed by a screen full of errors, including Stack is corrupt, etc etc.
That sounds like hardware problems. Bad memory, most likely. Try re-applying the 10.2.6 full updater, in case it's a corrupted system, but I'd start looking at hardware.
