Yellow Dog Linux, an open source Linux distribution for the PowerPC processor architecture, was first released in 1999 by Terra Soft Solutions, a Colorado-based software company. Competing with other popular Linux distributions, such as Mandrake, Gentoo, and Debian, Yellow Dog Linux soon became the most popular distribution for PowerPC.

Acclaimed for its ease of use and graphical installer, Yellow Dog Linux is derivative of Red Hat Linux, and as a result, is equipped with the RPM package manager and other well-known Linux technologies. Such as GNU, LibC, GCC, XFree86, KDE, GNOME, and version 2.* of the Linux Kernel.
