TERRA SOFT SHIPS YELLOW DOG LINUX 2.2

Loveland, Colorado -- 26 March 2002 -- Terra Soft Solutions, Inc., the
leading developer of integrated PowerPC Linux solutions announces shipment of
Yellow Dog Linux 2.2, the most mature and complete PowerPC Linux distribution
available.

Yellow Dog Linux 2.2 offers an array of improvements over v2.1 with the most
advanced, stable release of the 2.4 kernel, improved support for the Apple
ADC monitors, and accelerated video. The screen brightness and volume control
buttons are now supported on NewWorld ROM Apple PowerBooks and iBook
computers. And while the latest release of KDE is an appreciated improvement,
Gnome has taken a stunning leap forward --giving Mac OS X a run for its
money-- exceptional by all standards.

A few of the features are:
	Red Hat 7.2 based system 
	'ext3' graphical migration program 
	XFree86 4.2.0, KDE 2.2.2, and Gnome 1.4 w/Nautilus & Evolution 
	Improved modem & printer support 
	Improved support for nVidia GeForce2 MX & ATI Radeon--including ADC digital

With movement into high performance computing supported by the release of
Black Lab 2.0, YDL now offers 'HPC Node' as a package selection, in addition
to 'Base', 'Home/Office', 'Developer Workstation', 'Server', and 'Everything'
options.

"The means by which this latest YDL release came together clearly
demonstrates the cohesion and professional relationships that have grown
within the open source community. While our in-house experience plays a
significant role in the maturation of YDL, the unified effort of the
community continues to make YDL possible. Many thanks to everyone who worked
with us," states Dan Burcaw, Terra Soft Solutions CTO.
