Known Issues:
Snow Leopard is available for Intel Macs only.
Rosetta–the technology that allows an Intel Mac to run PowerPC software–is not part of the default install of Snow Leopard. Enable it from the customize button during the installation or install it from the "Optional Installs" folder found on the original DVD. The current version of tn3270 and the stunnel proxy rely on Rosetta at this time.
Some software may not be compatible with Snow Leopard and Apple has pro-actively disabled software that might already be installed on your computer. Please check Apple's list of incompatible applications and then check with the manufacturers for a Snow Leopard compatible version.
UTA Exchange email accounts can be accessed from Mail.app's new Exchange 2007 support. Please read instructions on configuring Mail.app for UTA e-mail.
Snow Leopard no longer needs the Cisco VPN tool to connect to the UTA VPN server. Detailed instructions are available on OIT's website.
How to Get:
Contact Help Desk to arrange for OIT to install Mac OS X 10.6 or later on UTA owned computers.

Backing up data is the responsibility of the client. One such method is burning data to a CD or DVD. Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" also features a backup system called Time Machine. If you use Time Machine, you will need to enable it, and be familiar with how to recover data using it.
