Re: Best OS for MDD
It does SEEM like a waste of HDD space, but i forgot to mention, ann of those 4 Os's only take up 26.9GB of my 750GB EIDE HDD. So, pleny of room there. I put all of those Os's there becuase i enjoy moving back and fourth between different systems for different reasons. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Best OS for MDD
The dual 1ghz is one of the ones that can still boot into 9, I think. If it is, you should have no trouble running Leopard and 9.2.2. Since it's bootable to 9, you don't need Classic mode. You get the best of all worlds with that setup with only the minor inconvenience of having to reboot to use classic software. If even that minor inconvenience is too much for you, then go with Tiger.

I triple-booted my system with OS 9.2.2, Tiger, and Leopard. The more, the better. Not always do you need 3 or 2 system like i do, but i do run classic programs, so sometimes i run tiger.

Re: Best OS for MDD
I think that's just a waste of hard drive space to have all those systems installed. All you really need is 9 for classic apps and either Tiger or Leopard for OS X apps. It doesn't make much sense to have more than one version of X installed since the later ones can do everything the earlier ones can do and more.

Re: Best OS for MDD
dc dbc...@verizon.net Apr 05 05:23AM -0700 ^ I want a bit of company on Tiger. It sure is doing real well for something obsolete. You've got lots of company, Tiger's a good system for older Macs, but Leo has 2 substantial improvements. Time Machine is the most obvious, keeping things backed up is an important task. Sometimes our old Macs run so well for so long that we neglect backups, then a hard drive fails and The second is less obvious, it's the way Leo runs Software Update. Many people have screwed up their Tiger OS by running something while Software Update is optimizing the system, leading to an unbootable OS. Leo shuts down all other running processes when running a system update that requires optimizing, it's Apple's answer to the large number of complaints from 10.4 users. Thanks for this info. Years back I had noticed that software update screwed my machine but had no real idea if anyone else had my problem. I solved my problem by never letting it actually update things all by itself. I chose (and still do on my Tiger G4) a download only option and later I install the packages. It is a nuisance this method of mine because I sometimes forget or delay so much that I then get confused what I have updated and what not. I tried to help out by making comment notes in the Get Info panel - stuff like installed on 1/3/2008 But comments can get lost, they are not reliably araldited on to files! So my eyes open wide hearing about this Leopard innovation. I may have had an inkling of this because recently I bought a Macbook with Snow on it and I don't think there was a download option? Anyway, being so new I thought it unlikely to face troubles and so far there have been none on Snow on the MB.

I have multiple G4 MDD machines. One came with Leopard (I had Tiger before on others) and I was happy enough with it that I bought it for all the MDDs in the house.

Re: Best OS for MDD (Possible OT)
somewhat the same here. Mac Plus from 3rd grade through high school(powermac 9500 came out just before I graduated) , powerbook 180/IIci first 1/2 of college BWG3 for the rest(first new mac), two years ago got a QS G4 for free.ended up getting a bigger tax return that I had predicted to I caved and got a brand new intel mini (I love it!) have had other macs, but they were all very old/broken so either free or only $5-10, just something for me to waste time tinkering with :) still have my Plus, IIci and the QS. Plus is set up for my 4 year old to play The Manhole on (and me to play beyond dark castle) IIci is up now as a hotline server, seeing if there is any life left in hotline. (and used to play spectre and net trek with the plus (scsi ethernet set up on the plus, really need more RAM though). QS is in the basement to play music and google if I get stuck on a project ;) -sam I hear you on this.

Re: Best OS for MDD
Here's a simple answer, straight up. If you want performance, movies, and all of that stuff, go with Tiger. If you want newer programs, compatability, (not saying that leopard is slow, but..) and movies, but basically all of the features of tiger but newer? Go with Leopard. If you want extreme speed, go with OS 9 or Jaguar. They are such light systems, it's not even funny.

Re: Best OS for MDD
Part of the answer is going to depend upon what you want this machine to do. What program or programs do you want or need to run on it? Will this be set in network with other CPUs or will this be a solo operating machine? While OS 9.2.2 may run fastest and use the least amount of ram, if you can't run the program(s) you need to, or can't network with other computers when using it then it doesn't help you out. Finding the balance between the needs and capabilities with speed and compatibilities is the trick.

Why not just use Leopard? It would work even better. Peter M.

Re: Best OS for MDD
Hello, I upgraded my QuickSilver to a Newer Technology dual 1.73 GHz PowerPC G4 and have little problem beyond a protection violation once in a while; but, that is neither here nor there. MacOS 10.5 does not support classic, so I have MacOS 10.5.8 on one drive and MacOS 10.4.11 w/ OS 9.2 on another. The system normally boots into 10.5. If I wish to use 10.4 w/ Classic, I just hold down the option key when booting.
