I just put 10.5.8 on one of my doctors G4 700 iMac's PITA 5 hours With CCC but they have a scheduling app that also runs on their new Intel G5 iMacs and has to have 10.5, otherwise Tiger is the ruler on the PPCs. Leopard has some nice features. Spaces is one But like I said before don't try to rip and burn It doesn't work on any of my PPC machines Single or dual.
