I agree with Chris Howard that you come to the review with a bias. Yeah, so what? We all have biases. Any journalism school drill that into their students. At least being up front about them is honest. My problem is the comment about approaching Linux from the Mac as a beginner. What beginner would know about the Developer tools, let alone make and checksum? A beginner will do as pinneped suggested and buy a CD. I actually think that the definition of a beginner would include inexperience with Developer or command line tools. That said, I enjoyed the article and I'm looking forward to upcoming installments. I recently put Yellow Dog on an old g3 iMac and am stumbling around in a very foreign country. I achieved my goals of using the purple box as a development server running L.A.M.P. for my small office, but it would be great to get more comfortable with Linux. (Yeah I know I could have used OS X for this but Linux is important)
