I never really liked 3.5. Just didn`t feel right. Its basically 3.1 with some extras. Not great.
The install procedure is very flaky. Install 3.1 (included) then install 3.5 over the top of it. 3.9
includes all the internet stuff (though i don`t use it), which can be useful to some people. I like
Amibar and look forward to the new version with OS4. I`m not sure if 3.5 can create an emergency FD.
A FD which makes the system boot from that disk + the OS3.9 CD. VERY useful in some times of
emergency. The GUI is a bit better (I think). All of the prefs programs use the new system which can
be texture mapped. Not nearly as much as OS4, but it can be done a bit. For power systems that can
be cool. Basically OS3.9 rules! Theres much more, but I can`t think right now. I`ve just got up :-)
