Yoper V2 Review |
|
OSNews has published a review of Yoper Linux V2: "Yoper Linux V2 was released a few weeks ago (July 13, 2004). After reading the release announcement on Yoper's website, I decided I had to try it. Yoper claims that version V2 'is the fastest out-of-the-box Linux system in the world'. If anyone can compare distribution speeds, it's me... Yoper is an interesting little distribution with definite speed benefits as we have noted. However, I do have a few complaints about it." Read the full review with screenshots here.

YOPER: 'Your Own Operating System' Revealed |
|
Desktop Linux interviews Andreas Girardet, the founder of Yoper, a New Zealand-based Linux distribution: "Yoper has had tens of thousands of downloads since the 6th of December 2002 and is very well received by thousands of people, especially non-Linux users who finally have found an Open Source operating system that replaces their non-UN*X OS's. With the help of these users we have been able to fix hundreds of issues to the point in which rc3 is certainly going to be an amazing experience for anyone who is willing to give some harddisk space to this project (2.2GB). Lots of focus has been put into the look and feel of the system, notably HW openGL support for NVidia and Matrox and enhanced font support." Visit this page to read the interview.

New users may be taken back by the text install but penguinists used to tinkering will find the install to be a no-brainer." Read the full story here.
