Actually, with YDL you do not have to do BootX and OS 9 except on "Old World" Macs. With "New World" Macs you use Yaboot and it boots directly into YDL, skipping Mac OS entirely. As to running Darwin instead of Linux, Darwin is still lacking a lot of the standard methods and applications that most *nix admins prefer. I know that adding a user, using NetInfoManager from the command line was enough of a pain that I reformatted and installed YDL 3.1
