TerraSoft Releases YellowDog Linux 3.0

chriseh writes "For those of us who prefer Linux to the candydrop OS, good news! YellowDog Linux 3.0 has been released. For those who don't want to wait, you can get an enhanced membership at YDL.net and download ISOs directly. As per other releases, ISOs will be available to everyone/mirrors two weeks after the CDs have been on sale.Finally, I can run Linux on my 12" Powerbook." extrarice amplifies: "New features include: Redesigned installer, a unified KDE 3.1/GNOME 2.2 desktop (both WMs share the same icons and menus), Kernel 2.4.20, and the usual package refinements/updates. More release info can be found here. Note: ISOs are not available yet, and CDs are scheduled to ship in mid-April. I have been running YDL 2.x for about a year now, and it's a fast, stable distro."

Re:Why would I want this?

Yes, you are. (No offense.) There are many of us who have older PPC boxes around, that are just dying to have a lean, stable OS installed so they can be put back to use. Besides, YDL is a PPC hardware distro, not an Apple hardware distro. There are a variety of reasons why PPC hardware is preferable in general to x86 hardware. YDL fills an important niche.
