[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 857544, member: 24098"] Installing OS X is a trivial matter, requiring very little technical knowledge - see [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1545"]this article[/URL]. Backups are equally trivial, you just need a good backup program like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.

Assuming you are technically savvy and have a grasp of UNIX-based operating systems, I would recommend: [URL='http://www.amazon.com/Running-Mac-OS-Tiger-No-Compromise/dp/0596009135?tag=macforums0e4-20&tag=macforums0e4-20']Amazon.com: Running Mac OS X Tiger: A No-Compromise Power User's Guide to the Mac (Animal Guide): Jason Deraleau, James Duncan Davidson: Books[/url] This book is based on the older version of OS X 10.4 (Tiger), but the basic information applies to all of OS X and is an excellent read, without being too basic.
