I am sorry to hear of Charles's installation troubles with Leopard. Several delinquent programs like Application Enhancer have indeed caused the blue screen of death, though in this case not Apple's fault as they disobeyed clear developer guidelines. There are also several bugs, notably one affecting the keychain, though these affect some but not all Mac models. Updates for these are appearing.
Macfixit.com offers user workarounds for some of these problems.
