(1) Does it make sense to upgrade Tiger to Leopard running on a
G4-PowerBook-12" laptop?
I run 10.5 on such a powerbook as well as a 1GHz G4 eMac. If anything
performance overall was improved over 10.4. One have 1GB of RAM the other
3/4 GB. The only downside was that at some point there was an update to
10.5 where my firewire enclosure became unreliable. It seems to affect
certain ide to fw bridge chips in hard drive enclosures and I was unlucky.
I can usually power cycle the drive and try again successfully. It matters
not which cable and drive I use, I have three enclosures, and once is the
culprit.
With regards to X11, the growing pains are mostly over for me. I do use
Xvnc for 8-bit though. This may be improved in later versions of X11
though. The key options to Xvnc are -cc 3 -depth 8
