Posted on 05. Mar, 2008 by Freak_c in Mods, News

Upgrades abound as Yellow Dog Linux 6.0 is released to the public, complete with updated PlayStation 3 compatibility. Terra Soft have released the new version to the public to be downloaded free of charge. Heres what has been added:

-E17 & Gnome installed by default, KDE included.
-Gnash, the Flash work-alike.
-Ekiga VoIP, Pidgin IM/IRC, and Fluendo codec installer.
-Kernel v2.6.23, gcc v4.1.1, gblic v2.5, and Eclipse v3.2.2
-The only Linux distribution to include by default Cell SDK v3.0.
-IBM iRT (interactive raytrace) demo available via YDL.net Enhanced

Main things though are; Choice between Mac like interface (GNOME) and Windows like interface (KDE), Flash stuff now works, New Skype and AIM/Windows Live Messenger capabilities now included, and a fancy demo to show off raytracing, the next step in photo realism.

You can download the DVD image file at 3.7gig.
