why?
on my older g3's, 9.1 is a more bug/problem/conflict free system than 9.2.2
my question is..
what does 9.2.2 give you that 9.1 doesn't?
this is for machines NOT running X.x
just really curious.

The two OS's are remarkably similar. 9.2.2 is intended to provide better integration with "Classic" mode in OS X. It also provides better compatibility with some newer technologies than 9.1.
I use both, 9.1 being used on a computer that cannot install 9.2.2 without resorting to OS 9 Forever's installer hack.
Of the two, I believe 9.1 is more stable. But bear in mind that the computer on which it's installed does not use USB or FireWire devices.
Hope this helps.

The additional (.1) that takes OS 9.2.1 up to 9.2.2
is only necessary relative to Finder compatibility with OS 10 when running nine in Classic mode; i.e., having 9 and 10 in the same machine.
I've used 9.1 in a 9500 for a long time and it feels like one of my classic vehicles that I know inside and out and so I have no inclination nor need
to move to 9.2.1.
But like the previous poster pointed out, OS 9 Forever would let me update
if I chose to.
Cheers,
Terry

Guys, please avoid OS 9.2.1.
