Tired of MSDOS and Windows?  Try the Yggdrasil Linux CDROM, a genuine
Unix-like 32 bit operating system with full source code.  The current
Linux is based on the 0.99.14 kernel, GCC 2.5.7, Xfree86 2.0 (X11R5)
X windows, and hundreds of other programs.  You get 235 MB of
binaries and 445 MB of source code.

Among the programs you get on the Linux CDROM is the Andrew mail
system which now has multimedia support for documents with embedded
images, spreadsheets, hypertext links, etc.  Further, the regular
mailer and news reader now also understand MIME multimedia mail.  In
the X windows programming environment, Linux includes XView,
OpenLook, the InterViews C++ toolkit, and the new extended Tk/Tcl.
You get *two* multi-windowing versions of emacs: Emacs 19.22 and
Lucid GNU Emacs 19.8.  Also new are the professional software
reliability tools DejaGnu, Gnats, tkGnats, and RCS.

The Linux CDROM also contains hundreds of other programs.  Included
are emulators, development tools, programming languages, a database
system, communications software, desktop publishing and TeX software,
text editors, multimedia viewers, sound support, ethernet networking
software, and games.  You also receive a *free* copy of the Linux
Journal with the disc and a month ($40 or 11 hours) of Internet shell
access!

You can install Linux on as little as 2 MB or as much as 680 MB of
hard disk space.  A 60-page installation booklet and easy
installation script guides you through the setup.  Set the system
options with graphical "fill in the blank" control panels.  Linux can
also share a hard disk with other operating systems on separate
partitions.

Linux runs on a 386 or above PC with 4 MB of RAM (8 MB without a swap
partition), a SCSI CDROM drive and a VGA card.  It also supports SCSI
tape drives, most commercial sound cards, and most commercial
ethernet cards.

The 75,000+ files in this complete plug-and-play operating system include:

Linux 1.1 kernel supporting most popular CDROM drives (see hardware 
list on back).

An easy-to-use installation script, plus a graphical user interface for
system configuration.
 
The X Window System: X11R6 Xfree86 3.0 (see hardware list on
back), Xlib/Xt X windows libraries, the Tcl/Tk programming language and
