Yellow Dog Linux 2.2 ISO Available

Posted by pudge on from the yummy-in-my-tummy dept.

DarkClown writes "Just noticed the ISO for Yellow Dog Linux 2.2 went up for download on their main server; you may want to wait for it to hit a mirror, though." It was available for purchase a few weeks ago, and now you can download it for free, you moochers. You might also want to check out the installation guides, including an instructional video via Real Media.

  1. So which is better.... by Dark+Paladin · · Score: 3, Interesting

    To run Gimp in XDarwin under OS X, or to install Yellow Dog and run it from there? (Can you run YD Linux from within a Virtual PC like memory space? That would actually be pretty cool.)

  2. Upgrades. by saintlupus · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is there any way to upgrade from YDL 2.1 to 2.2? I'm running a rather customized install of 2.1, and I really don't want to go through the hassle of doing it again.

    (Perhaps more importantly, is there any way to install X without KDE or Gnome in this version? I'm running it on a 7200/120, for crissake; fvwm or blackbox are more than enough, especially with a lousy 2 gigs of storage to work with.)

  3. An Idea for Yellow Dog by Skrap · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Here's an idea for Yellow Dog:
    Develop a linux compatibility layer for OS X. True, many command-line utilities already compile and run just fine on OS X, but many depend on libraries specific to linux, and won't compile.

    Solution: develop a simple-to-install set of libraries which would enable use of most (if not all) linux programs on OS X.

  4. realplayer? by augros · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's ironic that they're using RealPlayer. I've used YellowDog for a year now and still can't get a stable linuxppc version of it to run.
