Fixstars Corp, a Japan-based company working in the field of cell broadband engine (cell/BE)-based solutions, has announced the acquisition of Terra Soft Solutions, developer of Yellow Dog Linux. The new subsidiary, Fixstars Solutions Inc, of San Jose, California, maintains the entire Terra Soft staff, product line, and regional offices in Loveland, Colorado.

Through this acquisition, Fixstars will continue to maintain Yellow Dog Linux as the only Linux OS with support for every cell/BE based product on the market, including Fixstars' own GigaAccel 180 and Sony ZEGO BCU-100.

The union of the Fixstars and Terra Soft products, services, and engineering expertise forms a complete cell broadband engine ecosystem and client offering, reducing time invested and total cost of ownership. Fixstars now provides cell application optimization, middleware, Yellow Dog Linux, and cell-based hardware.
