    So I've had my iMac since about October, and its running flawless. I've really got no concerns as far as performance or anything, but does anyone use any of the system maintenance programs that are out there? Any benefit to even using any? I've been working with/using a Mac for about 6 months altogether, but I still consider myself a novice in regards to much about how Mac's operate.

    I remember coming across a program called Ice Clean 2.0 a while back, but it didnt support Leopard. Now I see that 3.0 is out, with full support for 10.5. Has anyone tried it?

    You can try something called Onyx - it's a free maintenance program for OS X. You can download it here.

    There's not really much maintenance required on Mac OS X. You can try using Onyx, as queshy suggested :).

    MainMenu is another good one. Also Freeware.
