Terra Soft Solutions is pleased to announce the distribution of Yellow Dog
Linux products through Frank Kasper & Associates. A specialist in CD-ROM
titles, FKA has established itself as the largest world-wide Linux
distributor, offering products by companies such as Red Hat, Caldera, SuSE,
Turbo Linux, and Walnut Creek, to name a few.
"In our conversations with domestic resellers, we found that a number of
our contacts already enjoyed established relationships with FKA. We wish to
uphold these relationships by providing Yellow Dog through a well-known,
respected distribution channel," states Kai Staats, CEO, Terra Soft
Solutions, Inc.
FKA will introduce Yellow Dog Linux to thousands of retail outlets in the
United States. In addition, leading distributors and resellers in more than
100 countries worldwide will be able to work with FKA as a sole-source
provider of Yellow Dog Linux, giving Yellow Dog a running start in the
rapidly expanding Linux markets.
"We are most pleased that we can offer our customer base YellowDog Linux.
As leaders in the Linux community, we want to continue to offer our
customers the latest products available in this field. By distributing
Yellow Dog Linux, we are able to continue to meet this need," states Darren
Finnamore, Purchasing Director, Frank Kasper & Associates, Inc.
About the Yellow Dog Linux products to be offered:
Champion Server is Terra Soft's professional server distribution, now
shipping version 1.1 with support for Apple's latest hardware. While
Champion Server was designed with the server environment in mind, it has
proven to be a favorite among those who wish to dive for the first time
into Linux, enhance the performance of their old Mac, or build a full-on
server with the latest Apple hardware. Champion Server 1.1 was met with
incredible enthusiasm as a debut at MacWorld NY.
Gone Home is the much anticipated version of Yellow Dog Linux designed
specifically for the home user. It will be offered as a stand-alone
product, bundled with games and/or home-office applications, and will
introduce an entirely new graphical installer (yes, you can use your mouse
and yes, it will be open source) currently in development by Terra Soft
Solutions.
