I've had good luck with the older G4 towers - I've been using them
because they are my old graphics computers. One caveat: the early DVD
reader has a hard time reading the installation disks. It seems to only
boot up the OSX installation disks.
I've got one green G4 400MHz in production for email (plus antivirus,
spam checking) and intranet/webmail for 50 users and it's working
great. The other is a test web server and it's also working well.
I gave up on the Power Macs. In short, they are too underpowered to run
anything useful unless you REALLY need a processor driven DHCP router or
something like that.

I have tried to install YDL 2.x and 3.x on some early Power Macs (7200s,
7500s) one of the later "Power Center" clones, and on an early pre-iMac
beige G3 all-in-one. I was never fully able to get it to run, despite
paying for support, etc.
I would really like to get YDL running on SOMETHING. So, let me try
approaching this from the opposite direction...
What would be considered the safest, most slam-dunk-easy, Macintosh model
for the installation of YDL? I have a used iMac (e.g. green tray loading,
333 mHz) and used G4 towers (400 mHz, I don't know if they are Yikes or
Sawtooth) available to me through work. Either of those models OK for
instaling YDL without weeping and gnashing of teeth?
Thanks,
