The time and money spent almost makes it worth buying an Intel-hosted OS 10.4 Mac.


The cute is there, but it works, and you have a clean bare-bones command line always available.

The networking in my experience is fast and largely automated in a friendly way.

We have four and sometimes six devices on a wireless LAN sharing files at need. A couple are not Intel-based but the earlier PPC architecture.

Once in a while something goes wonky but is usually put right within fifteen minutes.

The machines are generally very robust and trouble free.
