TERRA SOFT SHIPS "GETTING STARTED WITH YELLOW DOG LINUX"

Loveland, CO -- 11 December 2001 -- Terra Soft Solutions, Inc., the leading
developer of Linux solutions for PowerPC(tm) microprocessors, is pleased to
announce shipment of its first book, "Getting Started with Yellow Dog Linux".

For those who are new to Linux or trying Linux on PowerPC for the first time,
this book will assist in making the transition from Mac OS to YDL with
step-by-step instructions and plenty of screen-shots:

	I. Getting Started: Installation YDL
	II. From Mac OS to YDL

And "Getting Started" takes you into new territory with the basics of system
administration:

	III. Power Users: Advanced Topics
	IV. Trouble Shooting
	V. Appendices

"While Linux is very much driven by an online community, sometimes it's
comforting to have a book at your side. As Red Hat and other Linux
distributions have done before us, we are proud to offer what we hope to be
the first of many YDL books," states Kai Staats, CEO and a contributor to
'Getting Started with Yellow Dog Linux.'

"It was a pleasure working with Terra Soft. We learned a great deal in the
process of authoring this book. We look forward to being involved in future
versions and new publications," states Joshua D. Drake, co-founder Command
Prompt.

The YDL book includes the YDL 2.1 Install CD and is available now from Terra
Soft's online Store:
http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/store/ and will soon be available through
Terra Soft's resellers.
