Yellow Dog Linux 2.2 ISO Available

DarkClown writes "Just noticed the ISO for Yellow Dog Linux 2.2 went up for download on their main server; you may want to wait for it to hit a mirror, though." It was available for purchase a few weeks ago, and now you can download it for free, you moochers. You might also want to check out the installation guides, including an instructional video via Real Media.

Re:Real Media?

Real Media? What's that?

Does seem odd that they wouldn't offer it in Quicktime -- it's not like the target audience can't view it. If you've got Linux installed and running, and thus no way to see Quicktime streams, you're a little beyond the introductory video. Ah, well.

As for the Flamebait mod, looks like they're still handing out free Drano chunks and telling the mods its crack.

yes, just recursively upgrade the rpm's

[ubiquitin]

copy all the RPM's you want from the CD ISOs into a folder, and then use rpm -Uvh * Enjoy.

Re:So which is better....

My experience with XDarwin has been fantastic. Apps under XDarwin seem so much faster and more responsive than they ever did under LinuxPPC, YDL or Debian on my 266mhz Powerbook. The Gimp runs great under XDarwin as well. My advice would be to install Fink and then use that to do all of the rest of your Unix apps. The fact that I have apt on my OS X system is just that much cooler. Stick with OS X and you won't be disappointed. This is advice coming from someone who faithfully used LinuxPPC for 3 years and has now switched wholeheartedly to OS X.
