Terrasoft appears to be taking order for YDL 4.0 now

[David Orlovich]

Yes I must agree here too - I like YDL - it was the Linux Disto I "cut 
my teeth" on, but Debian is not as hard to install as you might think 
(just download the testing installer - it worked easier for me than any 
other PPC distro I've tried), and keeping Debian up-to-date is a breeze 
with programs like aptitude.  Debian's testing (sarge) version is much 
more up-to-date than YDL 3 and I suspect it will continue to beat YDL 
4.  I'm not advocating abandoning YDL - more diversity is good - but 
Debian is well worth a try, and it's the "free-est" distro I know of.  
David.
