I entered the world of Apple hardware about 3 months ago now, with a second-hand iBook2. It was a 500mHz, 256mb, ATI Rage 128 model, with a standard CD-Rom drive. I spent the first few days trying to tweak Mac OS X to my liking, then a few further weeks installing and learning to use the applications I thought I'd need. Chimera, BBEdit, the developer tools, even the Fink X server so I could use Gaim.

I also thought the start of this article was some attention seeking strategy, (and that perhaps it was posted because of this - more impressions). The comments about OS X are completely unnecessary. If this was a decent review of YDL then it would not of started in such a "troll" like fashion. It _should_ of concerned it self purely with YDL, and maybe mentioned why it was chosen towards the middle (after covering installation). Example reasons could be; the need for a particular application, or work/study requirements or simply because the author likes checking out new operating systems.
This kind of article reflects poorly on the author and OSNews.
