Thanks for the quick response, I'm taking your advice and going with Panther. I was leaning that way anyway, but you raised a couple of points that helped me make the decision. <br />

I've got several Macs with various OS versions. I'd like to update them all to Panther, but I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile for me to wait for Tiger to come out.<br />
<br />
From what I've read so far, Tiger seems to be mostly new multimedia/AV features and user interface gewgaws, which are not important to me. I'm interested in stability, compatibility, and solid networking. Is there a reason for me to wait for Tiger, or should I go ahead and get Panther now?<br />

OS X: Should I get Panther now or wait for Tiger?

Mac OS X is the desktop operating system from Apple Inc., found on Macintosh computers. OS X consists of a Mach/BSD-based kernel, operating system interfaces primarily based on FreeBSD and additional frameworks (written in C, C++ and Objective-C providing user interface and application-level services.

Mac OS X

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
