Thoughts on the public release of El Capitan? Any noticeable differences other than the font?

Just about to ask that too. Had a look at the comments on the Apps store and most seem very positive, more so than when Yosemite was introduced. One worrying post on there has said it causes big problems with Microsoft Office.

Like what Dave?
The apps mentioned in the report are few and I'm not sure of their popularity (I don't use them, in fact I've never heard of them!)
Is it breaking anything major e.g as mentioned above MS Office?

I have now upgraded and I couldn’t really comment on whether or not it is noticeable quicker, though I don’t really do much to really push its limits. I might crack up Civ V this evening and see what difference I can tell, that always used to rinse it.

Picking up a 2011 i5 iMac with 16gb tomorrow to replace the 2006 Core Duo with 2gb.

This is the 'family' machine and I think will be now be the fastest, besting my 2009 Core 2 Duo Mini and my 2013 i5 Air. I thought about nabbing it for myself and cascading the Mini, but I just can't really be bothered to sort out two lots of data and applications.

What OS do I go to on that machine?

My Mini improved massively when I upgraded it from 2GB to 8GB. 16GB seems like overkill but it comes from a design agency - I guess they had their reasons.

I didn't think later versions of OS X ran on such amounts of ram

I had this when I went to Yosemite on my iMac. I bought some extra RAM on line (2 x 4gb) and inserted them next to the existing 2 x 2gb, which was surprisingly easy to do. Lots of YouTube clips to help. This extra RAM took away the spinner and made the machine run much better.
So, hard disk is like your garage where you keep cars, RAM is the fuel for those cars - if you like.
