"We seem to have missed this when it was announced at
MACWORLD, but we see it now and think it's very interesting. Terra
Soft Solutions has dropped the price on it 500 MHz briQ PowerPC
Linux computers. You read correctly, the company has a line of
specialized G4 and G3 computers it is building that runs Yellow Dog
Linux. The units are small, built to be included in a rack and can
be clustered together. From Terra Soft:
Terra Soft Solutions, Inc., leading developer of PowerPC Linux
technologies and provider of high density, PowerPC G4 computers
today announced a drastic reduction in price of the 500 MHz
briQ.
"Since the introduction of the 'Yellow briQ Node' three weeks
ago at MacWorld NY, we have listened intently to the feedback of
our potential customers. Across the board, the briQ's performance,
low power consumption, and high density form-factor have been well
received. Only the price stood in the way of immediate introduction
into several HPC facilities, server environments, offices, and
school labs. Today we have removed that barrier," states Kai
Staats, CEO Terra Soft Solutions, Inc."
