Yellow Dog Linux

Hi folks!

I'd like to know if there is still any development of YDL?

Greets, Georg Funk

YDL for PowerPC is definitely no longer developed. I'm not sure about the status of YDL for CUDA (http://www.ydl.net/ydl_cuda/) but I believe it's still actively developed. I'm just a volunteer and not an employee of Fixstars, so you may want to contact them directly (https://www.fixstars.com/en/contact/).

merci

Looks like I could be wrong about that!

Yellow Dog Linux 7

After a four year hiatus, Yellow Dog Linux is back for POWER! Supporting the latest IBM PowerLinux - 7R2 Yellow Dog Appliance hardware, Yellow Dog Linux brings the reliability and functionality of Enterprise Linux 6 along with enhanced features for POWER7 in a 100% open source and free-as-in-beer offering. The following are the versions of the main packages included with Yellow Dog Linux 7:

kernel 2.6.32
gcc 4.4.6 and 4.7.0
glibc 2.12
M³ Platform (optional)

That's exciting news about YDL 7. Unfortunately - it's sort of a "good news/bad news" situation.

The good news: it looks like it's based off of CentOS/RHEL 6.

Yellow Dog Linux brings the reliability and functionality of Enterprise Linux 6

The bad news: It only runs on one platform.

Yellow Dog Linux 7 is currently only supported on the IBM PowerLinux 7r2.

Although I'm all for getting new hardware, the $14,990 price tag might upset my spouse:
