Yellow Dog Linux 2.2 Released

Gatton writes "Terra Soft has released version 2.2 of their Linux distribution for Apple hardware known as Yellow Dog. According to the website, a few of the features are: Red Hat 7.2-based system, 'ext3' graphical migration program, XFree86 4.2.0, KDE 2.2.2, Gnome 1.4 w/Nautilus & Evolution, improved modem & printer support, improved support for nVidia GeForce2 MX & ATI Radeon--including ADC digital. No ISOs, only SRPMs on the ftp site at the moment. Presumably it will be available for download soon." I bought two previous versions of YDL, but this time I am just going to download it, as I don't use it enough to warrant buying it, now that I primarily use Mac OS X as my "other" OS. And, darnit, I want to download it now.

My practice is to download ISOs and, if they work, to buy the next one. (With Linux, unlike in the MacOS world, you don't really *expect* things to work -- they're free and you take your chances.) I owe Yellow Dog one (2.1 worked on my Radeon TiBook after Mandrake, SuSE and Debian all failed). Besides, their mailing list is good and yup is nice once you get it reset properly. Definitely a "buy" for me.

Mandrake went back to a download for my PC after 8.1, and 8.2 doesn't make me want to spend money on 8.3 either.
