YES Corporation would like to announce the immediate availability of YES Linux 2.1 Build 1. We are very excited about this release because for the first time we feature Virtual Host support. User have the option of using either a one step Web Based or a one step commandline interface. Using either interface the Virtual Hosting System allows for the creation, enabling, or disabling of Virtual Hosts in a completely modular configuration. This means that no two Virtual Hosts share a configuration information, making maintance of each Virtual Host easiler and have a lower cost. We have fixed a configuration bug that affected authentication using WebDav. Now WebDav authenticates properly for both the primary website and all virtual hosts. We have created more documentation for YES Linux available from http://www.yeslinux.org/docs.php. We have upgraded SquirrelMail to the latest edition, standardize on website naming convention, and Cleaned up the extra directories associated with Apache.

In adition to the above changes the YES Linux Configuration system now supports a dynamic message bus, allowing for dynamic events to be fired. This means that administrators and thirdparty developers no longer have to edit build files, they now have a choice. They can use the existing method or they can create an Event (Directory) and place an unlimited number of build files in that directory. Then once the driver task is executed all the build files for that Event are dynamically loaded and executed sequentially (Determined by the Number prefixing the build file name with lower values having precedence).

We expect to have one final release of YES Linux 2.1 that will include web statistics for each virtual host created. After that we will begin work on YES Linux 2.2.
