Yellow Dog Linux v4.0 Released
worm eater writes "On September 29, Terra Soft Solutions delivered the final release of Yellow Dog Linux v4.0 to their CD manufacturer. It is currently available for download by ydl.net subscribers. Yellow Dog Linux v4.0 is built upon Fedora Core 2, offering both KDE 3.3 and GNOME 2.6.0 desktops with an all new presentation for both the Installer and post-installed desktop environment. Expanded USB support includes many cameras, printers, adapters, and storage devices. FireWire support is now built-in with bootable FireWire made possible through manual configuration. Mac-On-Linux offers the ability to run Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X and now offers automatic network configuration."
Debian GNU/Linux also has port for PPC, so why to use Fedora's userspace? Are there _real_ advantages of Yellow Dog Linux?

Much prefer OS X as well. I think it is cool to see Linux on a PDA or a remote control - you know, something that doesn't cost a bundle to purchase. But, on an iPOd? They run, what, $400? I think I'll keep the iPod software in place, thank you. And, on something as expensive as a G5? Pffft! No Hobby OS will do for me, thanks. I much prefer Photoshop over The GIMP.
Remember that Apple was founded by one of each.
