Yellow Dog Linux 2.0 from Terra Soft Solutions, a developer of Linux solutions for Power PC microprocessors, will be publicly presented for the first time at the ninth annual Macintosh Business Expo.
Kai Staats, co-founder and CEO of Terra Soft will showcase what’s described by MacTech magazine as a “near complete” YDL 2.0 beta from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.. From 3-5 p.m., Staats will host a forum concerning the most recent advances of Linux for Power PC computers.
“The timing could not be better,” he said in a press announcement. “As this week completes a successful and rewarding reseller road tour, I will have in my hands the latest YDL 2.0 beta representing more than a year of development effort by our dedicated, determined, and very tired staff.”

Tony Lee, Apple’s senior director of Worldwide Markets, will give a 9 a.m. keynote. Exhibits and seminars run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Details can be found at the Business Expo Web site.
