So, come on then you ardent supporters of that horridly text based OS, tell
me why I should dual boot the Mac's I look after at college? I have my
reasons, but why do you guys (and for the sake of being PC - politicly
correct, not Penitum Crap ;o) and gals). I'm running a bog standard
8600/250 with 32MB RAM (although I'm throwing 200MB PSD's at it and it's
still holding up - I'd like to see a Wintel try doing that ;o)) running Mac
OS 8 and a 7600/132 with 90MB RAM and OS 8.6.

I'm also putting together a HUGE tech bid for something like 5 G4's 10 iMac
DV SE's and some of the swankie new Pisom PowerBook's for a new media
teaching enviroment and I'm wondering if Yellow Dog is the most approprate
distro to run on them. It's Red Hat based so it should sit with our
workgroup server (we've hoping to get it from VA)

Cheer for any help you guy's (and gal's) can offer!!!
