This brand new OS, “The most advanced OS” sucks big time!!!

This OS is so damn unresponsive. it hangs all the time… i hate it.

(Update 10.5.2 doesnt hang anymore)

- Mail hangs, when I send email, search or read

- iTunes hangs, (becoming unresponsive)

- Safari hangs, and takes all my ram… up to 800 MB!!!

- The terminal console is lagging… and crashing. iTerm also becomes unresponsive.

- even textmate is crashing, not because of the textmate, but because of the OS.

It all happened after I installed Leopard..

TIGER WAS FINE….

I bought this DVD, 130 USD

and what I get??? this shit.

now I have to go back to tiger.

Use TIGER until apple fixes Leopard.

Use TIGER and wait for Snow Leopard (10.6)

Some Solutions:

Use OSX Tiger.
Use Firefox or Camino,
Use Thunderbird as mail client.

Update:

10.5.4 came out and still sux :-P

OSX already include the File Vault functionality that allows you to encrypt your whole Home Folder. Thou the storage overhead is so small, the time to encrypt it the first time is very very long. if you have Videos, and big files, it takes even longer.

What if I don't want to encrypt my big folders like Movies, Music, Pictures, Pdfs?

The console terminal in OSX ain't too good looking... so, here is the .bash_profile for my OSX.
It includes dir colors and bash history auto completion ( when you start typing the word and press arrow up to complete with older commands, like Linux page_up style) .bash_profile save it as ~/.bash_profile (add the dot in front)

My /etc/DIR_COLORS file :
