One other thing: I know that it's convenient (and in many cases cheaper)
for people to d/l Linux, but in this particulat case, I'd like to ask
people to _buy_ CDs this time 'round--whether it's YDL, SuSE, MkLinux or
LinuxPPC. It ain't that much, and the money goes to a good cause. :-)
Not to mention that the d/l often costs the provider a bundle...
But if you want to support Linux on the PowerPC and aren't a developer
yourself, BUY THOSE CDs. Please. :-)
