Steve, I just installed YDL 2.2 last week, a lot of install problems, but got them all figured out finally. I installed mine on my 8500/200 and I noticed a great increase in speed while using app's, yet app's seem to take longer to open up then compared to OS 8-9.1.I must say Mozilla is great, web surfing was smooth and video seemed to run a lot better. Like you said "neat", I think I will still base a lot through OS 9 but will keep learning more on Linux till I feel more comfortable. I don't know how much response you will get here on this list though, I posted two questions through set-up with-out any response to help.
