No I would say he is right on topic if not ahead of the game. I think it should be the goal for most of us to do a retail install. People use these distros because they come prepackaged and make installing a great deal less difficult. Repackaging OSX and sharing it with others is illegal no matter how you slice it. Likewise you are at the mercy of the distro's creator. No offense to our dev teams out there. I would hope that if you were using a distro you would also have a purchased copy of OSX. This doesnt change the fact that its illegal but I think of it as moral grey area.

I think there should be a bigger push towards distros designed to compliment the retail disk to do a retail instal. There has been a lot of discussion on this topic and I think it is the way to go.
