Likewise,

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass 1

should fix the dock

Well, overall yes.

On my mac-mini, which is Core 2 Duo, the systems seems to be a lot more responsive than Tiger.

On my Macbook pro and my macbook the performance is the same, I didn’t notice any differences.

Boot-times are always <1 min to desktop. I have never used Linux on any of my Macs, so I wouldn’t know.

No differences on Firefox. I don’t use Thunderbird. Firefox 3, however, is a lot of faster, but thats something that has to do with Firefox, not the OS.

So, is the upgrade worth it?

How smooth was yours? (if it actually was an upgrade)

What’s your startup time? For some reason Tiger needs quite some time to boot on my MBP. Linux though does not:P

Have you used Firefox/Thunderbird with .5 ? Is it as slow with the new os as with the old one?

Cheers

I think that you can enable network drives for Time machine by hitting

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

But I haven’t tried myself yet.
