Terra Soft Simplifies Yellow Dog Linux OS Strategy: Press Release 13 September 2000 Loveland, CO -- 13 September 2000 -- Terra Soft Solutions, Inc., the leading developer of Linux solutions for PowerPC(tm) microprocessors, has announced the simplification of their Yellow Dog Linux OS product strategy. There will be only one Yellow Dog Linux as future versions of the popular Linux distribution will combine technologies developed for both Champion Server and Gone Home. Terra Soft has been working toward the release of Yellow Dog Linux Gone Home, a PowerPC Linux distribution designed specifically for home and small office users that would feature a consistent, graphical point-and-click installation and maintenance environment. Dan Burcaw, Chief Technology Officer for Terra Soft reveals, "There is a great deal of overlap between the components that make up Champion Server and Gone Home. Using our new installer technology we can now provide a tailored installation based upon a user's experience and requirements." In two weeks from this notice, Terra Soft will introduce Champion Server 1.2.1, an update adding support for newer Apple Computer hardware. Following 1.2.1, Terra Soft will release a major revision --the first unified Yellow Dog Linux. YDL v2.0 will introduce all of the features developed for Gone Home and build upon the ongoing development of Champion Server. Burcaw continues, "Yellow Dog Linux 2.0 will incorporate the ease-of-use in development for our Gone Home distribution and the powerful server software that ships with Champion Server today --Yellow Dog Linux as a server or a desktop OS." Terra Soft will offer server and home user bundles with the brands "Champion Server" and "Gone Home" that will include 3rd party software such as backup utilities and games respectively. Both bundles will ship with the same core Yellow Dog Linux operating system. About Terra Soft Solutions, Inc.
