leading developer of Linux solutions for PowerPC(tm) microprocessors, has
announced the simplification of their Yellow Dog Linux OS product strategy.
There will be only one Yellow Dog Linux as future versions of the popular
Linux distribution will combine technologies developed for both Champion
Server and Gone Home. Terra Soft has been working toward the release of
Yellow Dog Linux Gone Home, a PowerPC Linux distribution designed
specifically for home and small office users that would feature a
consistent, graphical point-and-click installation and maintenance
environment.
Dan Burcaw, Chief Technology Officer for Terra Soft reveals, "There is a
great deal of overlap between the components that make up Champion Server
and Gone Home. Using our new installer technology we can now provide a
tailored installation based upon a user's experience and requirements."...</div></div></span>

of Drop Drawers, its revolutionary user-interface enhancement, for both the
classic Mac OS and Mac OS X (Developer Preview 4).
Drop Drawers provides floating pull-out, snap-shut drawers on the sides of
your screen to store text, URLs, aliases, pictures, sounds, movies, a list
of running processes and anything else.
The main new feature in version 1.2.5 is system theme support for
backgrounds and tab shapes (on OS 8.5 or later). This also makes Drop
Drawers fully Kaleidoscope aware.

G3 UPGRADE
APPLE EXPO, PARIS, FRANCE September 13, 2000. Sonnet Technologies, the worldwide market share leader in processor upgrade cards for Apple Macintosh computers, announces the first G3 upgrade for the Power Mac 7200. Once considered impossible to upgrade, this best-selling system has a new future due to the unprecedented achievement of Sonnet's engineering team. The first product in this new Crescendo line will be G3 400 MHz/1M model, and will boost performance up to eight times as fast as the original system.
"There were numerous challenges in designing an upgrade for the 7200 which we have been able to overcome using the knowledge and breakthroughs weve accumulated from our years of previous upgrade designs," states Sonnet's Chief Engineer, Henry Kanapell. The first challenge was to determine where the upgrade would be installed. The only option was to place the 7200 upgrade card in an available PCI slot, which had not previously been...</div></div></span>

from www.marcmoini.com
Version 1.5, released today, allows moving files from Mac OS 9.0.4 to a
newer Mac OS version, or to/from 9.0.4 and previous versions. It is now
able to identify the version number of the System Folder it is working on,
to recognize Apple files from other versions as additions.
Clean-Install Assistant makes it easier to migrate third-party and personal
items to a new Clean-Installed System Folder, and it may also be used to:
Save space and backup your valuable additions and preference files
only, instead of the whole System Folder.
Install the same set of additions on multiple Macs.
Remove extra files and folders from your System Folder to restore it
to a previous state: you can take a 'snapshot' of the System Folder
and have Clean-Install Assistant extract any items added since.
It is free for personal and educational use, download from www.marcmoini.com
