Loveland, Colorado — 27 June 2002 — Terra Soft Solutions, Inc.
officially announces the shipping of Yellow Dog Linux 2.3, the
latest update to the company’s flagship product.

Yellow Dog Linux 2.3 offers the new KDE 3 desktop which provides
a number of high-tech features such as GUI ‘translucency’–another
leap in the Linux user experience.

YDL 2.3 defaults to the CUPS print system: a simple, web-based
configuration tool for high-quality support for a wide-range of
printers.

In addition, YDL includes ‘apt-get’ to replace ‘yup!’ as a
simple, proven, automated update utility that enables the user to
keep their installed system current. apt-get provides intelligent,
automatic dependency handling to help reduce the hassles involved
in package management.

YDL 2.3 offers the following updates:

  • kernel 2.4.19
  • KDE 3.0.1
  • OpenOffice 1.0
  • CUPS print system
  • apt-get for RPM
  • Mozilla 0.9.9
  • Galeon 1.2
  • Evolution 1.0.5
  • AbiWord 1.0.2
  • Netatalk 1.5.3.1
  • xmms-cdread plugin

YDL 2.3 is available now from Terra Soft’s redesigned online
store: http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/store/
