That is sort of the way I am leaning. Since I will miss the greater 
screen space, however, I am looking forward to setting up a second 
monitor with the 12" PowerBook.

I have read that was an issue. I hope it remains bearable.

Someone on one of these lists (I wish I could remember who) reported 
recently that Bluetooth works "out of the box" with YDL. Sadly, you will 
almost certainly be able to get Airport Extreme (Apple's 802.11g 
implementation) to work in YDL. :-(

You will have to ask someone on this list who knows what he or she is 
talking about!

Also, do yourself a favor and subscribe to the Yellow Dog General list; 
it handles higher level questions well, and is being archived (see my 
signature, below, for details).

Best wishes,
Clint
