TERRA SOFT SHIPS YDL v5.0 DVD SET

LOVELAND, Colorado - 11 December 2006 - Terra Soft is proud to announce the 
shipment of Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 for PLAYSTATION®3. Available now from the 
Terra Soft online Store, the 2 DVD set includes more than 2000 packages for a 
complete desktop, development, and server solution; a printed Guide to 
Installation, YDL sticker, and flexible flier.

Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 is Terra Soft's next generation Linux operating system 
for Power with immediate support for PLAYSTATION®3, developed under basic 
agreement with Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. YDL v5.0 introduces 
Enlightenment E17 for an integrated end-user experience far surpassing 
previous releases. A break from the KDE and Gnome norm, E17 is a light 
weight, refreshing desktop manager unique for its simplicity of use and 
stylish features.

More than a gamebox, the PLAYSTATION®3 was designed to function as a personal 
computer, incorporating the state-of-the-art Cell microprocessor with super 
computer power. Yellow Dog Linux gives the PLAYSTATION®3 the full 
functionality of a personal computer, incorporating code from Barcelona 
Supercomputing Center, Sony Group, and Fedora.

A simplified installer enables anyone to install. Post-install, the default 
Firefox home page offers a Quick Start Tutorial to YDL and E17, moving users 
through the basics of networking, working with applications, and desktop 
configuration. The default suite of applications and associated menu 
organization offers an intuitive, self-guided means of exploring Linux.
