in Leopard: Upgrade or Clean Install? on I Bought a Mac
Unsanity's APE isues aside, I too disagree that upgrading is any more fraught than a clean install.
I have upgraded many Panther machines to Tiger and hope to upgrade many Tiger machines to Leopard.
Anyway there's lots of room for error when moving Apps, Documents, not mention Library items back over after a clean install.
An alternative is to clean install Leopard to an external FW drive, boot up off it, then Use Migration Assistant (Best utility ever) to copy over Users, Apps documents settings etc, Finally either repaet the clean reinstall on first machine and migrate everything back again, or, Clone the external onto first machine.
