I finally installed Snow Leopard on my 3+ year old MacBook Pro and iMac this weekend. We’re updating to Java 1.6 at work and Snow Leopard was the best way to get that version on my old 32-bit machines. I’ve only found couple things that needed to be changed after the update.

Adium

My old Adium font settings were broken. It looked right in the settings, but chat I sent did not appear in the correct font. To fix, type cmd-T in any Adium window, choose your font, and click “Save This Setting As My Default Font”

MySQL

MySQL is no longer found at /usr/local/mysql. Fix with a symlink.

$ sudo ln -s mysql-5.0.51a-osx10.5-x86 mysql
$ ls -ldt mysql*
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel   25 Nov  9 14:38 mysql -> mysql-5.0.51a-osx10.5-x86
drwxr-xr-x  19 root  wheel  646 Nov  8 21:40 mysql-5.0.51a-osx10.5-x86
