Terra Soft Releases Latest Yellow Dog Linux v.4.0
Loveland, Colorado -- 29 September 2004 -- Terra Soft Solutions(R), Inc., the leading developer of integrated PowerPC Linux solutions, is pleased to announce release of Yellow Dog Linux(TM) v4.0.
The final Yellow Dog Linux v4.0 CD-Rs have been created and will today be delivered to a CD production facility for glass mastering and replication. While shipping product will be available in approximately two weeks, Yellow Dog Linux v4.0 is immediately available through YDL.net Enhanced accounts.

Terra Soft's lead engineer Owen Stampflee offers, "This development effort was perhaps the most challenging in the history of Terra Soft with a completely new code foundation, several mid-stream Apple product releases and revisions,
and our own desire
to achieve a product better than we have offered before driving us week
after week. Our drive for excellence and the hard work of the OSS community
has resulted in the best hardware support in the history of YDL."
Yellow Dog Linux v4.0
offers 32-bit support for USB-G3s, G4s, G5 Power Macs, and through the
Freescale Board Support Package, Genesi Pegasos II ATX boards. Expanded
USB support includes many cameras, printers, adapters, and storage devices.
