Since its inception, Terra Soft's Yellow Dog Linux has been used by Orignal Equipment Manufacturers, computer design and manufacturing companies that use IBM and/or Motorola PowerPC CPUs for their own, unique board designs, as a preferred development and deployed (shipping) operating system. Yellow Dog Linux provides seamless code migration from development workstations (ie: Apple Power Mac; host) to the intended single board and/or embedded PowerPC computer (target) without need for cross compilation. This saves time and effort in code development and product evolution.
