For years I have thought that Yellowdog was secretly funded by apple (hence the special privilages)
The logic behind this idea was it allowed development of the linux kernal and compatibility with apple hardware without apple having to take the 'plunge' and put their weight behind linux (and therefor suffer the backlash if they choose not to use it)
When they moved to osx, I assumed the experiment had failed
Them being bought finally scuppers my theory, shame, I thought it was a good one! :-p
