The world of business is too often defined by rigid expectations – the rules and tedious regulations. Companies cannot offer thrills. They must instead provide only the essential drudgery, forcing each employee to become a solemn creature; working always toward success but never smiles. And this philosophy extends even to their operating systems. Computers are seen as vital but not convenient. Their capabilities are used only for the practical needs. There is no inspiration. There is not even the understanding that such inspiration can be achieved.

And this is too great of a waste.

Linux, many believe, is a brand purely for the bold. Its open source ideals have marked it creative but seemingly impossible to apply to the every day challenges of industry. This assumption is incorrect, however. While none can deny the ease this platform has provided, none can also deny the efficiency it can potentially offer – just by choosing Yellow Dog.

Developed in 1999, Yellow Dog was not the common operating system. While it still supported the intentions of Linux (with all of its open codes and copyright denials), it was not meant simply for clever children. It was instead to be used by professionals; each who needed far more than the capabilities of Microsoft, Macintosh and other competitors.

Yellow Dog is a kernel platform that can withstand the demands of corporations. With such features as code compliers, video conferencing, Power Architecture capabilities and Bluetooth support, it becomes the ideal reply to all business concerns. This desktop function serves all needs; and its ingenious design allows even for cluster servers and database sharing. It’s for those who require more than the standard software.

Linux is famed for its innovation. Too often, though, that innovation is denied within companies – thought to be too great a distraction and too much a worry. Yellow Dog, however, proves that the notion of open sources can move easily through the towers of paperwork and bureaucracy.
