gizmodo.com — Those of you who haven't been poring over all of Mac OS X Leopard's feature list (because you actually have lives) probably only know a few things about it. There's this new backup software...and...some iChat stuff? That's where we come in. Here are Ten Things You Should Know before you upgrade to Mac OS X Leopard.

I had Application Enhancer installed and performed an upgrade install with no issues. My instant hijack, at least, is NOT working, (don't have many APEs to test with at the moment) but isn't affecting my system for the worse. This procedure should be useful still for anyone with worse Unsanity luck.I have to note, though, that while everything turned out all well and good, I made a full, bootable backup before the install. I'm not encouraging anyone to risk their data.

If you are a Photoshop CS3 user, you want to make sure NOT to select the option during Leopard's setup to use a case-sensitive filesystem. If you do, you'll be reinstalling everything because Abode, in their infinitely impressive development decisions, doesn't support this filesystem. Of all the software I own, Adobe is the only software company who worries their pointed little heads about what filesystem you are using.If you make this "mistake", you will be reinstalling Leopard or dumping Photoshop.

"translation from 32->64 consumes time."There's two versions of every app binary and framework in Leopard. One is 64 bit, the other is 32 bit. The OS chooses which executable to include when you install Leopard

Onyx doesn't work...If you did the upgrade and find applications in the the dock with a "?" and need to remove it but can't since the dock will be locked, open up the terminal and use everything here:defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool falseosascript -e 'tell application "Dock" to quit'To lock the dock again use everything below:defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool trueosascript -e 'tell application "Dock" to quit'
