In keeping with the “awesome software utilities” theme, I happened to be reminded of this next awesome bit - AppleJack, an opensource tool that helps you run the gamut of troubleshooting from Single User Mode in OS X (I was of course reminded since my PowerBook hiccuped on me today - nothing serious, knock on wood, but still).

Unfortunately, I also found out today that it hasn’t been updated to run on 10.5 (a.k.a. Leopard) yet. Managed to use another tool, but things would have run a bit smoother with AppleJack. For those of you who haven’t updated OS X yet, take advantage!
