Yellow Dog Linux SPECIAL EDITION Offered at MacWorld SF 2000
Loveland, CO, 29 December 1999
Since the introduction of Champion Server 1.1 at MacWorld NY, there have
been a variety of developments in the PowerPC Linux community. In order to
offer these updates to the MacWorld SF attendees, Terra Soft is pleased to
offer, in addition to Champion Server 1.1, a limited, special edition of a
third CD entitled "Tasty Morsels".
The "Tasty Morsels" CD will include all of the current Champion Server 1.1
errata updates--security and bug fixes. In addition, Tasty Morsels will
include the following software updates:
BootX 1.1.3 (the latest, stable version)
BootX 1.2b3 (the latest beta release)
Kernel 2.2.12 RPMs
Kernel 2.2.14pre9 snapshot
KDE 1.1.2
October GNOME
Mouseconfig 4.0-1a (properly configures USB mice for kernels newer then
2.2.6)
And best of all, the CD is BOOTABLE on New World ROM systems (iMac and
newer) via the new "yaboot" bootloader. For owners of the newest Apple
hardware this will allow you access the YDL installer directly from CD with
no Mac OS required. This feature will allow owners of Apple's iBook, iMac
DV, or AGP "Sawtooth" G4 to install Yellow Dog Linux from a CD.
"Champion Server 1.1 remains a viable product. With the addition of the
third CD to the Mac World audience, we hope to provide a proven
distribution with updates that users have been asking for and support for
Apple's latest machines," stated Dan Burcaw, Chief Technology Officer of
Terra Soft.
Terra Soft has also included demo and trial versions of the following
software, already available for Yellow Dog Linux:
FrontBase database
Communigate Pro email server
Urchin web analysis tool
Finally, "Tasty Morsels" will include a demo version of the
to-be-announced iTools (by Tenon Intersystems) for Yellow Dog Linux. Previously available
only for Mac OS X, iTools is a family of tools essential for serious
eCommerce and commericial content delivery.
Burcaw continues, "One of our original promises to the PowerPC Linux
community was that of bringing new commercial software to the platform.
Starting with Loki games, then FrontBase, Urchin, Communigate Pro, and now
with the introduction of iTools for Yellow Dog Linux, we are making good on
that promise. We are pleased to partner with Tenon and to make available
iTools for our customers."
