This information is true in that Linux kernels which come with YDL
do not work on those machines listed. However, as mentioned
previously, there exist Linux kernels which do work and run
reasonably well so that YDL as a distribution works quite nicely.

months to a year) as I am writing this on PowerBook 5300c ;)
