While Terra Soft remains a top-tier value-added partner of Apple??™s, it has also begun selling preinstalled
Linux systems on hardware from other manufacturers.
Simply put, Yellow Dog??™s mission is to support the latest Power Architecture systems (such as Sony
Playstation 3, and cell-based and high-end PowerPC systems from vendors such as IBM and
Mercury Computer), and to continue to deliver PowerPC-focused Linux for the 10 or 20 million
people like myself who have PowerPC-based Macs but want to take advantage of the power of
Linux on those systems.
For high-end server systems, Terra Soft Solutions offers its Y-HPC operating system on IBM 970
BladeCenter 42U rack servers and Mercury Computer XR9 64-bit extended ATX 1U and 4U rack
servers. Along with Y-HPC on these machines comes the Y-Imager cluster management software
suite, so you can centrally manage multiple Power-based Y-HPC servers.
On the workstation end, Terra Soft is the Linux vendor of choice for the Sony PlayStation 3. After
having worked closely with Sony to ensure complete support and interoperability, Terra Soft delivered
Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 for the PS3 at the end of November 2006. Similarly, Terra Soft has also
partnered with Genesi USA (www.genesippc.com) to sell the Open Desktop Workstation with
Yellow Dog Linux pre-installed.
