Puppies and Cats are 64-bit

On the heels of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger going Gold, Yellow Dog Linux 4.0.90 is now available for the Power-PC chipset. Terra Soft Solutions Inc. announced this build as an “interim” build stating that it “gave way to peer pressure”.

With Windows releasing x64 builds, and Tiger due out tomorrow, Terra Soft felt that they needed to release their update prior to their releasing of YDL 4.1 early this summer.

This latest public build offers much more than just support for 64-bit processes. It also includes many enhancements to the kernel, and the X-windowing system which squashes some problems they had using Apple’s Cinema displays.
