[ydl-gen] Calling all PowerPC Mac owners of courage and strength!

[ghannon at cspi.com]

Kai,
     Are you talking as old as when things were called "green light", "blue
light"
or do you just mean the G4 based machines.   I have a total of 6 of these
here at
CSPI, (one is a green light, the rest are newer)  They are pretty much in
use for one
purpose or another full time.   We would be glad to  beta test them on YDL
5.0.1,
as we were waiting for the "It's ready" green light.    Probably 3 machines
could become
Yellow Dog 5.0.1 machines.

     The internet connection of undying capacity is probably not us, at
least not
serving to the public as we can't open ourselves up to the world.   We use
one machine
as a gateway and it's not one of the MACs.

     I already even know of one problem that we had on one of the machines
when we tried using YDL 4.0 on it and a Myrinet PCI card, which ended up
being
unrecognized.   It would be good to get that fixed if it's still a problem.

     Also, I know I have the courage and strength, but a to-do list that's
a mile long,
but I would be glad to provide feedback on anything that would be used
normally.
Not too much time to spend setting up things I'm not familiar with and
don't use already.

     Let me know.

Gary Hannon
CSPI
Sr. Software Engineer
