I am sorry, but I disagree at this point, as this move immediately raises  
the question about YDL's future.

In a simplified view, YDL 4.0 is more or less FC for PPC. So I guess on a  
x86 Mac we could immediately use FC 4 (or Debian, SuSE, Knoppix, ...) like  
on any other x86 machine. [OT: maybe even with less difficulties on the  
latter ones if Apple stays to be reluctant to provide hardware information  
for developers.]

And will Terrasoft continue to provide a ppc linux for the old ppc boxes,  
or will it die a slow death like the Linux/DEC Alpha port?

Just my € 0.01, though...

Cheers, Albrecht.
