Question about Mac OS upgrade

So apparently I need to upgrade my OS to at least 10.5 before I can install my PS CS5 upgrade.

Is there anything I need to know? I know that's a weird question but I know there are options. Is snow leopard better? Will I lose anything - need to back anything up, etc..?


Computers are a pain in the ass.

Thanks!

You shouldn't have any problem with a upgrade. Just back up what you want to keep as a precaution.

Yeah, I think I have leopard now. I appreciate the help - I'm a bit of an idiot about software and computer guts.

Do not doubt the power of Steve Jobs. Your data is safe.

BTW, 10.5 is leopard. 10.6 is the snowy one.
