i must say, this is really great news for Terra Soft. ever since apple went x86, it seemed that they were kind of... adrift. still putting out great products, just with less apparent enthusiasm.
yellow dog was the distro that truly convinced me to use linux as my main desktop OS. i realize it was basically just red hat. but, the customizations by terra soft, such as YUP, were amazing when they first came about.
amazingly, when i first tried yellow dog, in 2000, i was able to buy a copy right off the shelf in fry's electronics.
i hope that yellow dog continues into the forseeable future. even though fedora now has a ppc edition available, terra soft's exlusive ppc focus has always been awesome.
