I am currently running OS X 5.8. I would like to upgrade my operating system to Mountain Lion, but understand that I'll have to upgrade to Snow Leopard and Lion first. How do I download Snow Leopard?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Clear instructions here, courtesy of rkaufmann87:
You can't download 10.6 - you'll have to find the install disk somewhere (try Amazon, eBay, etc). The last version was 10.6.3, so obtain that, run Software Update to get the App Store (run it several times to get all the updates), then download and install 10.8.

FWIW, Apple's selling it for $20 USD. Ebay and Amazon are poor choices, since the prices they're showing are out of sight. Peruse Paul_31's linked response. 😉
