Terra Soft releases 64-bit Yellow Dog Linux

Terra Soft Solutions has released a 64-bit version of Yellow Dog Linux, its distribution of the open-source operating system for Mac (PowerPC) hardware. "With Tiger 'unleashed' in 48 hours and even Microsoft caught-up in the 64-bit wave, we give into peer pressure and release this interrum set of ISOs. A compilation of our work to date as we move toward the early summer release of v4.1, Yellow Dog Linux v4.0.90 is built upon eighteen months in-house and customer experience with 64-bit," states Kai Staats, CEO Terra Soft Solutions. In addition to the expected double-precision, support for 16GB RAM, and native runtime environment for both 32- and 64-bit code, v4.0.90 offers: a bi-arch (32/64) toolchain, core 64-bit libraries, and updated X.org to correct Aluminum Cinema display issues.

What happened to Linux on Mac? Doesn't anyone care anymore? YDL has never been a better chance to test the Linux-waters. Why don't people care anymore?
