Terra Soft Solutions, Inc. announced the availability of Yellow
Dog Linux Champion Server 1.1 optimized for three IBM RS/6000
products — the 43P Model 150, a uniprocessor workstation and
entry-level server, the F50 server, with up to four
microprocessors, and the upcoming thin application server, code
named Pizzazz.
Yellow Dog Linux Champion Server 1.1, Terra Soft’s Linux
operating system, is designed for a wide range of uses including
applications used by Internet service providers, corporate
intra/extranets, Web and network servers.
“This represents a significant move for Yellow Dog Linux into a
new market,” said Kai Staats, Chief Executive Officer of Terra
Soft. “By teaming with IBM and RS/6000 servers we will be able to
offer our product on one of the industry’s top rated
platforms.”
“We have customers asking for Linux-based solutions on the
RS/6000,” said Rod Adkins, IBM RS/6000. “We said earlier this year
we would be working with the Linux community to provide Linux-based
solutions on RS/6000, and now we’re beginning to deliver on that
promise.”
Champion Server 1.1 for RS/6000 will be available for pre-order
beginning July 26, starting at $24.95, and for download shortly
thereafter at www.yellowdoglinux.com. The CDs with RS/6000 kernels
