Mac OS X True to the "under-promise and over-deliver" mantra, Apple has announced that it will start shipping Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard August 28. The original release date was announced to fall somewhere in September, so Apple is delivering ahead of schedule.

I'm new to the whole MAC OS X scene, I've been a Linux/Solaris/*BSD user for 10 years and needed a new laptop so I went with a new 15" macbook pro. I'm just wondering if the $9.99 I spent is just an upgrade dvd, pop in and it upgrades the bits. Or do I have the ability if I want to re-install, to use it?


I guess it will be an upgrade disk (as they provided during the Tiger -> Leopard transition). But converting the update CD to a normal install CD is a matter of removing one script (or at least in Leopard), that can even be performed at install time (launch a terminal, make a memory disk, copy over the contents of that particular directory, remove the script from the memory disk, mount the memory disk at the directory containing the script, go one step back in the installation, then forward again, and it works).
