10 days turnaround time for a security patch is quite impressive.

The Security Update isn't appearing in my Software Update yet (the QuickTime update is though). As a PowerPC user, does it matter whether I download the Universal or PPC DMG? Any reason to prefer one over the other?

If you re-read the blurb, the security update is only required for 10.3.9 OR 10.4.9 (Server) - so you may not need either??

I just downloaded what seemed to be QT security update. That was for a 10.4.8 on my iMac G5. |

The thread is about two distinct updates: a Mac OS X Security Update, and a new version of QuickTime.
The new version of QuickTime, 7.1.6, also comes with a security update in QuickTime for Java, fixing the vulnerability discovered 10 days ago (with the prize of a MacBook Pro and $10k). The Mac OS X Security Update is at version 1.1. If you already have version 1.0 of that same update, which was released weeks ago, you will only have to update (and it will only show up in Software Update) if you're on 10.3.9 Client or 10.4.9 Server. If you don't have 1.0 yet, you will get 1.1 through Software Update. If you have 1.0 and don't have either of those systems, you don't need 1.1 since the change doesn't affect you. |

I'm running 10.4.9, Mooty, so that shouldn't be the problem. Apple seems to release updates at slightly different times across the world sometimes, perhaps to even out the load on their servers. I could happily wait until it comes through in Software Update, but I was curious why Apple is still releasing PPC versions (instead of just the Universal versions), and whether I should prefer one over the other.
Edit: saw chucker's post. Thanks, I missed that detail. In the future, should I prefer PPC or Universal? Or does it make absolutely no difference and I should just go with PPC because the file is smaller? … engrossed in such factional acts as dreaming different dreams.

Ha, I'm daft! Missed that even after you mentioned 10.4.9 Server.
Cheers! |

*) Mac OS X 10.4 Server versions from last fall and newer are the first truly universal Mac OS X release. The client won't be fully universal until 10.5. There's a good practical reason: to make the current PowerPC client universal, you'd have to deliver one heck of a huge Software Update. |
