Apple Blue & White G3s are now fully supported by Yellow Dog Linux Champion
Server.
Terra Soft Solutions is pleased to offer official Installation Support for
the Blue & Whites in conjunction with both the 'Install & Source CDs' and
with the full 'CDs, Guide to Installation, 3-ring binder, and zipper-case'
package.
"This is a testimony to the speed at which Linux developers are able to
support new hardware. We are pleased to have advanced the Linux/PPC kernel
with strong contributions from our in-house development team," states Dan
Burcaw, Director of Research & Development.
Terra Soft Solutions announced the last week of April their successful
porting of the CMD646 driver to the Linux/PPC kernel, offering the much
anticipated support for the primary ATA chain. This driver supports the
ultra-DMA features of the chipset, allowing data transfer in excess of 30MB
per second. Also fully tested and supported are the 29xx family of Adaptec
SCSI cards which enable the use of both internal and external SCSI drives
with the Blue & Whites.
Champion Server 1.0 may be ordered online via the YDL website:
