Terra Soft Ships Apple computers - YDL Pre-Installed
Loveland, Colorado -- 8 August 2002 -- Terra Soft Solutions, Inc., the leading
developer of integrated PowerPC Linux solutions is pleased to announce
availability of Apple computers with Yellow Dog Linux pre-installed.
"This marks an important turning point in our company and a renewed
relationship with Apple Computer. With the combination of Apple's powerful
computers and the robust and diverse capabilities of Linux, we are helping to
satisfy demand for high performance Linux servers, workstations, and
clusters," states Kai Staats, co-founder and CEO.
Terra Soft, an Apple Authorized VAR, is able to provide custom configured
stand-alone units or clusters while maintaining the full Apple warranty.
While installation of Linux on PowerPC has greatly improved, pre-installed
systems boot directly to Yellow Dog Linux, saving time with installation and
configuration.
Troy Vitullo, Internal Systems & Support Engineer for Terra Soft affirms,
"This is something we have been looking forward to for a long time. It simply
does not get any easier than this --press the power button and you've got
Linux."

PowerPC chip. Terra Soft has since early 1999 supported the Apple product
line, providing a modern operating system for computers as old as the 7200
