Here's a related question; ie ethernet support. Has anyone had any luck
getting
YDL to use the Apple gigabit ethernet card at a gigabit?

Subject: Re: Broken 7200 ethernet support
Hi Randall,
Hmm, that's unfortunate. I was going to put this machine in a server
closet
so operator intervention on this machine is pretty difficult and
infrequent. Does anybody know if YDL 2.0 improves ethernet support, or if
there's another distro that supports the 7200's built-in ethernet?
