I see no way to get osx leopard running in vmware, qemu, virtual box, or any similar software. Are you sure that it is possible?

installed Leopard on the day it went out. installed it during lunch, at work :)

its pretty nifty, i guess they optimized resource handling, since some of my apps seem to run a little bit faster (i.e Poser, and Bibble Pro).

i actually like Spaces, weaned from the Sun-world. and i don't need to pay additional for the virtual desktop functionality, as in previous OS X versions.

Time Machine is a good feature, but I still do Super Duper! M-W-F nothing beats a good external backup on a firewire HD (which supports firewire boot, of course).

all in all i'm having fun with my G4 and Leopard again.

In fact, a partition on my firewire hard drive is used for Time Machine.

yup Time Machine does. but am not sure if the partition Time Machine uses is bootable. sticking to SuperDuper in the meantime. :)

You could install OSX on the firewire drive then use it as a Time Machine partition I think.

I noticed my FPS almost double in Second Life after I installed leopard. I'm not sure why. I'm on one of the new aluminum imacs.

I'm just a little ticked because I purchased my first mac (yay me!) just about two months ago...grrr
But from what I'm reading, and from what I've seen so far, I'm thinking I'm going to wait a bit before I decide to change anything.

Has a version of Jas been created for OSX Leopard? Where can someone get an OSX Leopard Hackinstosh?
