Not really. The YDL release cycle not as frequent - at least the major releases. You can get updated versions of the packages when they become available using yum that loads them from the network and installs them. I ran yum right after install from the original CDs and it took severa minutes to load and update the system (I do not know how long because I went to bed). > Also, (Don't laugh at my naivete) is Apple's processor going to be PPC > much longer?

I doubt that Apple would do this in next few years as Hamlin outlined in his response. > I've heard OS X described as the best performing Unix/Linux GUI ever > developed. Well I guess that is what Apple wants everyone to belive. As much as I like OS X it does not offer the same performance as YDL on the same machine although I use it as my primary system due to few applications I need there.
