Tiger, Tiger
I just ordered the “Tiger” release of OSX (academic price). Being a relatively new convert to Mac, I am interested to see how smoothly the upgrade goes compared to Solaris, Linux, and Windows. Apparently there are three options:
- Upgrade in place. This supposedly just upgrades the new system files, leaving your settings and applications in place.
- Archive and install. This archives your current installation to a new folder, does a clean install, and migrates some settings over.
- Clean install. Just what you’d expect - wipe the disk and install.
I am sure I have a lot of cruft lying about, but I am torn between the first and second. I guess I will see how much free time I have when it arrives and then make my choice.
