I'm willing to wait.
I've investigated my options and other distros are all at the same level of developement for g5's, or so it appears to me, anyway. The one thing I don't understand, since you mentioned it, is how could a previous version of YDL provide support where a newer version fails. Oversight? I just don't get it.... I mean if I still had my eMac 1ghz g4 with YDL3 and I upgraded to YDL4 and lost hardware support as a result, I'd be a bit peeved or
very curious to say the least. Can you shed some light on that, StarKinight83? Just thinking about something like that occuring makes my brain hurt, even though I chuckle about it for some reason
