YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been using linux for years--on the intel/amd cisc platform. If there's one thing I hate, it's hardware issues. The Macintosh has always provided excellent hardware. And, let's face it, how often do we see hardware incompatibilities between components on an Apple?

Thus it was that I decided to combine two things I love best in the world: the linux operating system and the Macintosh computer. I should level with you. The first linux on mac OS I used was Debian based. It was actually quite good; however, it didn't quite give me all of the interface features that I've come to know and love.

Having been a bit reluctant about YDL, I stuck with the Debian base for as long as I could stand it. Reading a bit more about the features and functionality of YDL, I decided to give it a try. I downloaded YDL 4.0 and restarted one of my G3's.

Yellow Dog Linux was INCREDIBLY easy to load, to setup, and to operate (fully functional with all of my hardware [including my airport card]) in about 30 minutes. It was so easy it was almost scary. This distribution is FAR SUPERIOR TO MOST DISTRIBUTIONS OF LINUX I'VE EVER SEEN. Mind you, I'm a Slackware fanatic--few distros can top the original--but Yellow Dog Linux has made me a believer. I not only downloaded the distro, I actually (me, of all people) BOUGHT a distribution from you guys. If you had any idea of how rarely I break down and buy Linux, believe me, you'd be proud of yourselves.

Those folks not convinced of the greatness of Yellow Dog OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T TRIED IT!!!!!!
