 I was wondering if someone could help me get my sound back on my
 daughters iMac. It's the older CRT bondi blue type. No sound at start
 up, no alert sounds or sounds of any kind except when I plug in the
 headphones, I can get half stero. Don't recall if its the left or
 right. Also, I can the long beep from the programmers button.

Try turning the sound up.

 to repair it, and how easy was it? Would it be worth it?

If you're going to do this for a business, it would probably be worth
while to become certified by Apple so that you can get access to their
repair manuals.

 To start with the .iso file burned to a CD-R, something the 9.10 version
 doesn't.

Actually it can, but it depends on the cd-r brand, your cd burner, and
your cd burning software being willing to. With the right combination,
you can actually burn a bit more then what the cd-r is marked for and
that is what the maintainers of this distro are banking on.

 a while and I just checked their website and it seems it is now
 maintained by a different company so I'm not quite sure what's going
 on there.

 It doesn't seem like it's maintained at all.  I just went looking and
 many of the mirrors had the ydl directory but nothing in it.

 I was trying to run the software installer on my YDL 5 system and it
 couldn't find the distro files, again the ydl folder was there but
 nothing else.  The company's web page links to those pages with nothing.

 The YDL 5 install I have is perhaps the buggiest linux I've tried.  And
 my BW G3 isn't supported on YDL 6.

It used to be supported back when I was using it ~5 years ago and it
was a great distro for my ppc macs back then. But a month or so ago I
checked their website and it was completely unresponsive. Now it loads
but is run by a completely different company who seems to have no
interest other than to invest in the bandwidth and disk space to keep
the website running and the isos hosted although the benefit of that
is questionable because as you pointed out their repo and all the repo
mirrors are now completely empty making the install impossible unless
one happens to have previously mirrored the repo when it was
functional locally. So sad, a shame to see such a nice and useful
distro die like this. :(

Re: Kid Friendly...? WATCH OUT FOR YOUTUBE.COM VS OUTUBE.COM

 If you are REALLY worried, I suppose you should make a short list of
 allowed sites and block everything else.
 That way bad typing is covered on any url. Otherwise you will need to
 start entering homonyms and misspellings of every site there is.

 I am in no way saying you should not block outube.com, just pointing
 out the scope of the issue.

This issue could be taken care of easily by installing this content
filter: http://www.intego.com/contentbarrier/. The content filter has
a list of sites to block based on the parents selection of what
content is not acceptable but it also goes a step further and
dynamically blocks content not on the list by analyzing images and
words on the website. Thus when configured properly not only does the
site prevent accessing any porn sites, but it can also be configured
to prohibit the use of any and all web based proxies thanks to the
dynamic filtering. I'm not in anyway affiliated with the company, I'm
just really happy with the product. I've used it myself and it is
extremely easy to use it to completely block out any inappropriate
websites because unlike many other products it is not limited by
filtering simply by a url list, it goes far beyond that ...well worth
the money.
