The main article doesn't make clear that "Plug and Play" meant that the Yggdrasil was designed to analyze your hardware and come up with a complete running Linux system, as Knoppix, Mandrake Move, et al do today. Yggdrasil was even more sophisticated than these recent systems as it allowed you to either (1) log in and use the system, (2) log in as "demo" and get a great automated demo, or (3) login as "install" and have the install process make use of a fully functional Linux system, rather than the usual severely cut down install O/S in modern distributions. Yggdrasil was very far ahead of its time. Jgd 05:33, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

What was kind of strange to me is that I ran across their website a few years ago, and they were still advertising their 1995 release. It was just so bizzare. I'm thinking we can safely remove the mention of anyone still wanting to use Yggdrasil these days, because there are other small linux distributions intended to run on low-memory / low-storage systems.
