Taro: I wouldn't hesitate to setup ydl if I were you. I used to run
mklinux as well, and have graduated to a pci machine as well. I have
champion server 1.1 installed, and running well. I'd have to say that it's
one of the better distributions I've used to date. I have run mklinux,
redaht 5.2 and 6.0 on i386, linuxppc 4 and 5/1999, so I've a fairly good
idea about whats out there. Ydl is stable, fast and has a good installer
as well. Support via the mail list is excellent as well.
