The new YDL 4.0

[Marcelo Giles]

Why don't you pay a visit to Yellow Dog's home page? Right there are 
two interviews in which Terra Soft's CEO explains YDL 4 and a couple 
other things:

MNW: Describe some of the more important features that will come with 
YDL 4.0 and Y-HPC. How does Yellow Dog plan to leverage the 64-bit 
architecture of the G5 chip? Also will YDL 4 run on ancient Macs that 
cannot take advantage of OS X?

Staats: Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 is our first distribution built from 
Fedora, the reformation of a community effort built around the Red Hat 
foundation. This marks a more challenging development process for us, 
but ultimately, a more community-driven product if you remember the 
circle I described earlier. Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 is 32-bit and supports 
USB-G3 through dual G5 Power Macs Towers.

We have chosen to no longer officially support the beige G3 product 
line -- my personal favorite for its incredibly robust offerings. This 
does not mean it will not work -- simply we will not apply internal 
resources to test these systems. We had to draw the line to focus on 
quality over quantity.
