    The PS3 GameOS offers entertainment features such as video games, movies, and photos, and HELIOS' simplified Yellow Dog Linux brings a powerful server OS. The new product was released today by HELIOS Software GmbH, a leading developer of cross-platform networking, PDF, and image server solutions for Mac, Windows, UNIX, and web clients, released today, under basic agreement with Terra Soft Solutions. Dedicated to making good things even better, HELIOS Software has prepared a stripped down version of Yellow Dog Linux for the purpose of providing a lightweight, low overhead server environment on the PS3, while offering an exciting test-drive platform for its file, print, PDF and image server software. Together they provide a unique combination of entertainment and server system.

    Kai Staats, CEO of Terra Soft Solutions, Inc., the developer of Yellow Dog Linux, stated: "I am pleased HELIOS chose to bring its enterprise client server solutions to the PS3 running Yellow Dog Linux. With HELIOS' modified Yellow Dog Linux distribution it is simple to use the PS3 as an efficient light duty server."

    Helmut Tschemernjak, CEO and President of HELIOS Software, stated: "Our Linux distribution for PS3 is another milestone in our support for the Open Source Community. And bringing our software to the PS3 underlines in the most obvious way, that HELIOS Software runs everywhere: Beginning with UNIX and Intel Linux to Mac OS X, Windows, and now the PS3 Entertainment Center". The HELIOS simplified YDL distribution comes on a CD disk image that installs in less than 6 minutes, and offers a high performance Linux server OS complete with DHCP network settings, support for Java 1.5 and AppleTalk enhanced kernel.

    The PS3 uses a 64-bit Cell processor which runs at 3.2 GHz, is PowerPC (PPC) compatible with 256 MB of main memory, and has performance comparable to a G5 single CPU. The PS3 comes with the NVIDIA RSX Graphics Processing Unit, has a 60 GB 2.5" swappable serial ATA disk and offers WLAN and Gigabit Ethernet for network connectivity. Terra Soft's Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 is binary compatible with its release for the former Apple PowerPC product line and concurrent support for the Mercury Cell products and IBM Cell and pSeries servers.

Among the advantages of the HELIOS PS3 Linux we can find:

    * Easy installation, ready to run in a few minutes
    * Free download from HELIOS web site
    * Dedicated server operating system with optimized performance (40% more memory available)
    * Java 1.5 runtime is pre-installed
    * HELIOS services are pre-installed as a test-drive
    * Easy maintenance shell from CD
    * Excellent Linux on PS3 documentation from HELIOS
