I applaud some of the comments I've seen here w/r/t paying for the
work people like Terra Soft are doing in putting together a good
distro, and in maintaining it.
I think that $30 for the YDL distro is a good deal and I want Terra
Soft to keep producing them. I've already pre-ordered my 2.2 disk
set and I'd encourage everyone reading this list to pony up, too,
Cheers,
