I've had YDL 2.3 running on an ANS for several years now and really liked it (I ran several Red Hat 4.x - 7.x servers in the past, so I was already familiar with RPM installers etc). Have to keep it powered down now - the ANS with two external DEC RAID arrays was using too much power in the house.

I've got YDL 4 running on a Wallstreet and G4 Cube but don't play with them much - OSX is so much nicer.

I've got an ANS with AIX installed, but haven't had much chance to break into it (it came installed and configured with old forgotten passwords). It's GUI certainly looks easy enough to drive.

Also got an ANS with NetBSD on it which I haven't played with much. My experience with it on a Quadra 700 wasn't much fun - but I digress.

While I really liked using YDL as a server and would run it again if necessary, but now that I have an Xserve with OSX 10.4 Server I am really happy!

Other than for network applications (ie SSH terminal, web, email), I never really used YDL as a workstation - always preferred OS9 or X.

Kind regards,
