64-bit Yellow Dog Linux arrives in May
Terra Soft Solutions has announced the forthcoming release of a 64-bit version of Yellow Dog Linux. Dubbed Y-HPC, the 64-bit version is built upon the 2.6 kernel and will offer both 32- and 64-bit libraries, with native double-precision floating point operations (FlOPS), 16GB (8GB tested to date) memory addressing, and the gcc 64-bit tool chain. A beta is currently available to Enhanced members of YDL.net, with the final version slated to ship in May. A new version of the 32-bit Yellow Dog Linux, also based upon Red Hat's RPM-based Fedora, is also scheduled for release in May. Terra Soft Solutions also sells Apple hardware with Yellow Dog Linux pre-installed.
