Ouch. OS9 was noticeably faster than 8.1, and X is (as you've
undoubtedly heard) a bit slower. OSX isn't *that* slow though.

I live on a dialup at home too, and never had a problem.
(I'm also old enough to remember when 56Kbps was considered
broadband. :-) I'd let the update happen in the background
or start it before going to bed. Actually, most of the time
I would just run apt-get and it would tell me there were no
updates....
I never had any DHCP probs with YDL. I had other issues,
like the USB subsystem crapping out if I moved the mouse
while printing (both being USB devices), but not DHCP. Come
to think of it, though, I think I started with YDL 2.2 and
updated to 2.3.
