YDL Champion Server 1.1 to Debut at MacWorld NY
On July 21st Terra Soft Solutions will debut the most professional,
powerful, and complete Linux distribution for PowerPC available: Champion
Server 1.1 offers improvements and updates both anticipated and unexpected,
including Netscape, 10/100Mb ethernet, simplified X setup, and improved
support for iMacs, Blue & Whites, and the '99 "bronze keyboard" PowerBook
G3s as well as the older Apple PowerPCs.
"Since the introduction of Champion Server 1.0 in March, we have received
highly valuable feedback from our customers. And we have listened. With CS
1.1, we responded to both the positive and the negative, and hope to exceed
the expectations of our existing and future customers. This is the product
we envisioned when the concept of Yellow Dog was born," states Kai Staats,
CEO Terra Soft Solutions, Inc.
With Yellow Dog Linux Champion Server 1.1, Terra Soft extends Installation
Support to include X configuration, offers hardware support for certain IBM
RS/6000s, and teams-up with leading companies in the industry (to be
announced). Terra Soft is pleased to continue to work with the Linux for
PowerPC developers group and to receive ongoing support from Apple
Developer Relations.
