Yellow Dog Linux是面向家庭、办公室、服务器及集群用户的开放源码Linux操作系统。从1999年春季开始，Terra Soft和现在的Fixstars（它于2008年收购了Terra Soft）就基于Red Hat或CentOS core，开发并维护着Yellow Dog Linux，这主要面向Power架构家族的处理器。该发行结合了一份图形安装程序，并支持很多种Power硬件、最新的内核、面向代码开发的稳定实用的编译器，以及面向网页访问、数据库、电子邮件、网络服务的服务器。可安装的DVD上包含了两千多个软件包。

        Fixstars has announced the release of Yellow Dog Linux 6.2, a CentOS-based distribution designed for the Apple PowerPC and Sony PlayStation machines: "Fixstars today announced the immediate availability of Yellow Dog Linux 6.2, delivering several updates and improvements making it simpler to install, faster, and easier to use. This release offers an updated kernel 2.6.29 for 64-bit systems, OpenOffice.org 3.0, Firefox 3.0.6 and IBM Cell SDK 3.1.0.1, as well as the next generation of ps3vram for fast, temporary file storage or swap using PS3 video RAM. With this release, ps3vram is up to 50% faster than in Yellow Dog Linux 6.1 and is automatically enabled as swap. With Yellow Dog Linux 6.2, Fixstars has added a fourth alternative for the desktop environment: Xfce." Read the full release announcement for further details. Yellow Dog Linux 6.2 is available for immediate download from the YDL.net subscription service (US$69.95) and will be released to pubic mirrors for free download at the end of July.（责任编辑：A6）
