This focus and dedication has led to Yellow Dog Linux becoming the worlds leading linux for Power PCs.
What is included?
Yellow Dog Linux combines a no nonsense graphical installer, support for a wide range of PPC hardware, modern (but not bleeding edge) kernels, and a stable development environment. Of course Yellow Dog Linux also includes the applications and services expected for web, database, email and network servers. More than 2000 packages are included by default.
A history of dedication and innovation
Yellow Dog Linux brings to close a decade of support for the Power architecture by Terra Soft while introducing Fixstars' first release. What's more, Yellow Dog Linux expands support for Cell development with the introduction of the IBM Cell SDK v3.1, Barcelona Superscalar, and a suite of updated developer tools while maintaining the E17 desktop for a rich, dynamic, and powerful end user experience.
