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. 

                    YDL 2.1 offers the following updates and improvements:

                    - 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 0.9.4
                    - Ext3 journaling file system
