1343 Yellow Dog Linux is an open source, Linux operating system for home, office, server, and cluster users. Built upon the Fedora Core, Terra Soft has since the spring of 1999 developed and maintained YDL for the Power architecture family of CPUs. This focus and dedication has lead to the world's leading Linux for Power OS.

Yellow Dog Linux combines a no non-sense graphical installer with support for a wide range of Power hardware, leading (but not bleeding) edge kernels and stable, functional compilers for code development. And of course, the foundation applications and servers expected for web, database, email, and network services. Greater than 2000 packages are included on the Install DVD.

Proven world-wide as the preferred Linux OS for the Power architecture, YDL v5.0 brings Terra Soft into its 9th year of Power Linux operating system development and support. What's more, v5.0 introduces E17 as the default desktop environment, granting users a new kind of desktop experience.

New in version 5.0.1:
With over 2000 applications available with Linux, there are often several available applications for each desired function. In the interest of making simple the use of Yellow Dog Linux for first-time, even advanced users, we have created a set of packages installed by default (an advanced installation option is available) which offer all that you need to enjoy your Linux desktop experience. Remember, the packages listed below are just a small selection of the vast quantity available to you, included with the YDL Install DVD and through on-line resources. While YDL v5.0 installs and defaults to E17, both KDE and Gnome desktops may be installed and be made available to you at log-in.

New in version 4.1:
• Backlit keys.
• PCMCIA cell phone and modem support.
• Support for Atheros wi-fi cards.
• Dual head config via the GUI.
• Install direct to and boot from FireWire drives.
• USB device auto-mount under both KDE & GNOME.
• Greatly improved sound support.
• Graphical Up2Date package install and update tool.
• Support for the latest Apple Power Books.
• Beta support for Apple G5 PowerMacs with dual core CPUs.
• Beta Extreme driver will be available shortly after release, via YDL.net Enhanced accounts.
