“Terra Soft Solutions is pleased to announce domestic
distribution of Yellow Dog Linux through Pinacor and the entire
Apple dealer community.”

“‘It is time for Yellow Dog on Apple PowerPC to be recognized as
a very real, proven solution that rivals the best of Linux on
Intel. We have worked hard to produce a highly professional
distribution, to offer a product that contains the most recent
kernels, libraries, and applications. Yellow Dog on Apple hardware
does not only meet industry standards for speed, stability, and
support, but will now be widely available in retail, VAR, and
mail-order points of purchase. From day-one we envisioned strong,
national distribution channels that would enable YDL to be
recognized as an industry leader. We know our relationship with
Pinacor to be a bold step toward this goal.’ states Kai Staats,
CEO, Terra Soft Solutions, Inc.”

“Terra Soft’s flagship product, Yellow Dog Linux Champion Server
has rapidly gained international recognition as a professional
Linux-for-PowerPC distribution. Terra Soft currently offers
in-house installation support and through a strong relationship
with Linuxcare–enterprise level technical support; industry
standard rackmount hardware from Marathon Computer; and as
announced in a recent press release, the latest, most sought-after
games. As with Civilization: Call to Power, Loki Entertainment
Software and Terra Soft will sometimes provide games for Linux on
PowerPC before they are available for the Mac OS.”
