 From my most recent experiences with MacOS, going from 9.2.1 to X.1 is a
downgrade, not an upgrade. The system is *way* too slow and a major pain
in the ass go get simple things like nfs working in a predictable fashion.
If you don't need it, chances are you are better off without it (for now,
anyway).

Cheers,

Chris
