Description:
Yellow Dog Linux is the Premier Linux Operating System for
PowerPC.
Proven world-wide as the preferred Linux OS for the Power
architecture, v4.1 brings Terra Soft into its 8th year of Power
Linux development and support. Yellow Dog Linux v4.1 marks a
returning point in Terra Soft's effort to again provide a leading
desktop Linux OS.
Yellow Dog Linux combines the preferred desktops KDE and Gnome
with the latest sound and graphic card support, leading (but not
bleeding) edge kernels and stable, functional compilers for code
development. And of course, the foundation applications and servers
expected of all modern Linux operatings systems for web, database,
email, and network services.
What will you do with your PowerMac after Apple switches to
Intel?
We have an answer--Faster, more stable, and far more efficient
as a desktop OS, Yellow Dog Linux is a solid replacement (not just
an alternative) to OSX. Breath new life into your PowerPC G3 and
G4, giving it a second wind as a personal workstation, or a new
function as a web, email, or data server. Want to see how your G5
runs Linux? You may dual-boot both OSX and Yellow Dog Linux or take
the leap and run Yellow Dog Linux alone, taking advantage of the
multitude of included, freely available, and commercial
applications.
Here are some key features of "Yellow Dog
Linux":
