"THE MOST COMPLETE LINUX DISTRIBUTION FOR POWER PC"

This operating system takes full advantage of the most current, stable, and secure Linux kernel and libraries, and best of all, some of the fastest hardware on the planet. If you tire of NT's instability or already trust Linux but would like to try something a little more--robust, we believe we offer everything you require: the YDL Champion Server, rackmount equipment, enterprise level technical support, 4 database systems, resources and support that will help guide you from installation through configuration.

CHAMPION SERVER 1.1 IS SHIPPING NOW!

And one of the most professional Linux distributions available for any platform, Champion Server 1.1 offers improvements and updates both anticipated and unexpected, including Netscape, 10/100Mb ethernet, simplified X setup, and improved support for iMacs, Blue & Whites, and the '99 "bronze keyboard" PowerBook G3s, 400 MHz G4s, and older PCI-based Apple PowerPCs.

Yellow Dog fully supports the IBM RS/6000 models B50 ("Pizzazz") and 43P 150, and currently supported only in "unimode", the F50.

For the 43P-150 though, I understand this needs to be heavily qualified. Getting it to work depends on the graphics adapter and the firmware level (it doesn't work with the newer OF, apparently!). Be warned of tireless reboot cycles :)
