Dan (and others on this list),
thank you for a straightforward answer, although I feel like I caught you on
a bad day right now - but thank you anyhow, and especially thank you for
your work. I didn't ask the question to insinuate that you should be
'keeping up with the jones'", it was more a curiosity thing.
I am running YDL 1.2.1, but sad to say I have not had the time or
opportunity to really learn the ins and outs of it, I just know how to keep
things running smooth for our particular internet route & services using
said box. So when it comes to the technical guts of the system, things like
rolling new kernels and such make my teeth chatter. I will eventually learn
the system, just going slowly... I know you all understand the frustration
factor when you try something so key to the running of the OS and it doesn't
work - especially when you don't know how to back out of it, or you can't
back out of it without a total reinstall. Hence my question.
I understand that you're doing what you think is best for your users. That's
why I'm hanging out here instead of at mandrake or redhat or anywhere
else... sorry if I ruffled feathers, but I am paying attention to all
that's said here so I can learn. If you don't ask, you never know right?

Bill,
There was a point in which we had to say enough was enough
and go gold. There are people working on Ximian GNOME for
YDL as we speak. When they're available, I'm sure this list
will be the first to know.
We don't make 2.4.x default because it is quite frankly not quite
ready yet for across the board usage on PPC. I don't
really care what Mandrake does, we won't ship 2.4.x default
just to "Keep up with the Jones'" so to speak.. we'll ship
what is best for our platform (PPC) and our users.
