Is Apple's X server something that has to be installed seperate of the 
actual upgrade to 10.4? Meaning after you upgrade you have to 
additionally install Apple's X server from the DVD.

Thanks for the information. I've also been tossing around the idea of 
installing opensuse 10.1 on this laptop (cause it's free, and will have 
the latest TeXmacs distribution). But, I just got this laptop (my first 
mac) and I'm really liking the functionality so that's why I'm thinking 
of just upgrading to Tiger. Since I'm a student it's only $69.
