I think you are being overly harsh and unkind in your comments.

Mr. Mascarasnake took the time to try to help Mr. Brent with his 
problems. The URL might or might not work (it works fine for me), but 
that might be due to odd line breaks in an e-mail client -- something 
that would not be under anyone's control, but that could be easily fixed 
by a diligent reader. Furthermore, the instructions in the Yellow Dog 
installation guide *do* work, and work well, if one follows them 
precisely. For those rare instances the instructions (which can seem 
counterintuitive to a long-time Mac user) do not work, Mr. Brent can ask 
more detailed questions to which Mr. Mascarasnake or anyone else will 
almost certainly give a detailed reply.

This too, is unwarranted and mean-spirited. The folks at Terra Soft 
(developers of Yellow Dog Linux) are doing their best to make a little 
bit of money from a product that they give away for free. If sometimes 
they do not live up to your expectations in this quest, then I recommend 
you reexamine your expectations. They certainly do not deserve the kind 
of ad hominem attack you have given them. If you have specific issues 
with the company, I suggest you contact them directly.

Best wishes,
Clint
