Yesterday I've actually gone and installed YDL CUDA 6.3 - it appears to be fairly similar to YDL 6.2, from what I can see on ftp.osuosl.org. Main difference I can see is YDL CUDA 6.3 has CUDA 3.2 whereas I believe YDL 6.2 only has 3.0 (not sure if an update will fix this). I believe this is mainly a CentOS 5.x based distro, but not having enough experience with CentOS, that's about as precise as I can pinpoint it. Kernel is 2.6.18-164 - 64 bit kernel. And this is a problem specifically for me, for the machine I've installed it on has no NIC it recognises (got one of those Atheros things). So from that boot up, I can't even get online from it to get it fixed. Hmmm... I'll either boot up a live CD with a newer kernel and chroot in to it to fix it, or build a newer kernel and boot into it. Open to any other suggestions. I guess the main advantage this would have over a stock current debian is that it appears to have been optimised for nvidia hardware but it uses such an old kernel that one may have trouble with newer machines like mine. BTW, CUDA is actually up to 4.0 at the moment, so they're behind on this at the moment too. Brings up the initial question: Who at the moment is using this distro? Robert -- chown -R us ./base
