Lion News and Tips

If you're reading this blog you probably heard that Lion is out today as a download from the Apple 'App Store' for Mac.  You will need the latest updates on Snow Leopard in order to download it.  I got my download this morning and created a bootable DVD and am presently creating a bootable installation USB (8 GB, the 4 GB stick was too small).

Over the next few days there will be countless reviews coming out and I'll try to post some of the ones that are more interesting to me, particularly as it applies to deployment to multiple computers, usage tips & tricks, functional changes, and more comprehensive reviews.

On one of my Mac Mini Servers, running Parallels, the Parallels Driver fails to load.  This is version 5 and I do have version 6 so I'm installing that now to see if it rectifies it.  This is a pretty big deal.

Thus far the server lion has left me cold.  I tried to migrate a production server, no go.  Lost all the virtual hosts on the web server and other features aren't there (not readily visible anyway).  Found some articles...
