What is Yellow Dog Linux?
YDL


With over ten years of development, Yellow Dog Linux is Fixstars' own original Linux distribution.

We have been offering Linux environments primarily for CPUs based on the POWER architecture such as Freescale PowerPC, STI Cell Broadband Engine, and IBM POWER. In recent news, Fixstars equipped the US Air Force with a supercomputer made out of 2200 interconnected PlayStation 3's. In this system, Yellow Dog Linux was used throughout.

Features of 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).


seems like it's back on the PPC.

sadly no download link yet.
