Quite right, I haven't been posting for a long while, but still subscribe to
the M/L. I also like the work that's been going on from some of the posters
here, like the YDL how to page someone here has set up.

I have looked at Ubuntu, but it didn't offer me anything that YDL doesn't
give me now (apart from sound:-/).  Till the recent sound thing, unless you
had very New hardware YLD did just work out the box. I don't mind getting my
hands dirty if its my own personal mac, but when you have 15-20 macs to look
after, it can make things go along much quicker.
In the end its down to personal preference, I was just being a little leary
with the "this is a YDL group" stuff, good to se your still around!.
