Subject: YDL vs. MacOS X

Hi all,
Just a thought: I read a few posts of people trying to run MacOS Classic, MacOS X and YDL on the same machine in different partitions. My Question is: What's the point?
If you're running MacOS X, you're already running a UNIX OS which gives you most of the tools YDL gives you as well. The stuff you don't have under X, you can download and compile yourself.
I understand that people want to run YDL on their legacy hardware which is not supported by OS X or they don't like the new OS and want to run some form of UNIX. But running both flavors on the same machine just doesn't make sense to me. The argument "because I can" just doesn't cut it ;).
I'm running YDL on my Pismo because I want to run UNIX but OS X is just too big and too clumsy an OS to run within 256 MB. I might give it another try, specially since I ordered a 512 MB SODIMM and I guess 768 MB should be sufficient to run OS X (for a few days). But: What can I do under OS X, I can not do under YDL 2.0 and vice versa? Is there an easy answer to that?
Best regards,
Chris
