Terra Soft Releases 64-bit Yellow Dog Linux

Posted by timothy on from the biosystem dept.

Kai Staats writes ""With Tiger 'unleashed' in 48 hours and even Microsoft caught-up in the 64-bit wave, we give into peer pressure and release this interim set of ISOs. A compilation of our work to date as we move toward the early summer release of v4.1, Yellow Dog Linux v4.0.90 is built upon eighteen months in-house and customer experience with 64-bit," states Kai Staats, CEO Terra Soft Solutions."

    from TFPR:

    "Exclusively available to YDL.net Enhanced members v4.0.90 may be downloaded immediately from www.ydl.net"

    So...I think you have to be a member to get to the ISOs.

    Most of linux is optimized for x86 it seems. I'm under the impression that gentoo and numerous other distros just simply recompile & repackage their x86 isos for PPC... and the Terra Soft goes through and optimizes all the code for PPC and makes sure all the Apple hardware works perfectly. They bundle a good product. I had it running on my Powerbook at one time.
