I am already registered for latest updates on the new snow leopard. Anyway at the price it is a bargain!

I hope that isn’t the image going gold: I’m running it right now and QuickTime is running like crap.

Thx for the quick response! My /home is also empty. I think there is /home due to Unix compatibility issues. Ok, I’ll keep it

I hope Snow Leopard is good, I am excited for the killer upgrade and to rub it in my Vista friends face!

@alexander, yes i have a /home directory showing up if i type ls -lash / although i don’t know what it’s for because it is empty, it belongs to ‘wheel’ so i imagine it’s important and you don’t want to delete it! maybe it is temp cache sort of folder?

Sorry for my off-topicness:

“ls -lash /” shows me a “/home” folder on my Mac OS X.5. Is this a system created resp. for the system relevant folder or is this a folder I’ve created myself accidentally as I’m (or was a long-term Linux user?

Would be nice of you guys to type “ls -lash /” and tell me if you have also a “/home” folder on your system.
