Yellow Dog Linux Finds New PPC Hardware Vendor

inditek writes "C|Net's News.com reports that Terrasoft Solutions, the vendor that sells and contributes to the development of Yellow Dog Linux has found, and continues to look for, some hardware alternatives based around the PowerPC now that Apple is moving to Intel chips. They say Apple's move makes for a good opportunity and more open space for a chip they think has a lot of life left in it." team99parody also writes "This is great news for customers like the US Navy who rely on Linux-on-PowerPC for important tasks like sonar imaging systems."

    You aren't a very creative Troll. Don't you think that the SCO 699 fee jokes are a bit old? Time to refresh your troll library of crap I think.

    *sigh* homophobic remarks used to dis company/product. Really shows your intellect to demean one group of people to attack another.

    On-topic: I commend YellowDog. i've installed them several times, mostly for personal use, but once for business. It's a solid platform, especially so if you need support from the vendor. We used it to re-use old Macs for administrative tasks at a company that was more Mac than Windows.

    It'd be a shame to see them go the way of the LinuxPPC project, which closed down around 2001, so I hope they do keep up with decent hardware partners.
