Loveland, CO -- 17 October 2001 -- Terra Soft Solutions, Inc., the leading
developer of Linux solutions for PowerPC(tm) microprocessors, is pleased
to announce the immediate availability of Yellow Dog Linux version 2.1. 

YDL 2.1 offers both incremental and monumental improvements to deliver a
more solid, speedy, and easy-to-use Linux operating system. 

"While on the surface, version 2.1 might seem like a minor update, there
are some substantial improvements.  The 2.4 kernel is now default and we
are pleased to be the first PowerPC Linux vendor to provide NVidia GeForce
2 video support," states Dan Burcaw, CTO of Terra Soft Solutions, Inc.

 - KDE 2.2.1
 - XFree86 4.1.0
 - 2.4.10 (default) and 2.2.19
 - Mac-on-Linux 0.9.60 which automatically grabs the ROM image from your
 Mac OS partition--reducing setup to a minimum. 
 - Webmin web-based system administration tool 
 - Mozilla 0.9.3
 - Ext3 journaling file system
 - ... and support for NVidia GeForce 2 & ATI Radeon video cards (Apple
 Display Connector not yet supported).
