Easy is such a relative term ;) I would say LinuxPPC and YDL were about the same in ease of installation. I looked at my CD-ROM and I had installed Mandrake 8.0, not the version you tried (maybe the newer version has a install bug?). I thought the Mandrake graphical installer was easier to understand and use than either the YDL or LinuxPPC GUI installers. I disliked some of the package dependancies in Mandrake, so I use YDL. I have not tried SuSE (the Intel version has the greatest European market share), nor have I tried Debian PPC. LinuxPPC (one of the first PPC Linux disrtos, if not the first) has not been updated in quite some time, the last version was 2000 Q4, 18 months ago. YDL has gone to 2.1 and 2.2 in that time. I switched to YDL from LinuxPPC for that reason (I switched from MkLinux to LinuxPPC similarly). I evaluated Mandrake and Darwin before switching. -- Charles Dostale System Administrator Silver Oaks Communications http://www.silveroaks.com 824 17th Street Moline IL USA 61265 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 309-797-9898 -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
