Linux 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".

I used to do this, partly because I wanted to see what each one had to offer (even if I'm happy with one, another might be better), partly for curiosity, and partly for some unidentifiable factor. It's probably like test driving cars, or something. Even if you find one you like, you might still want to try the others, just, well, because.

I've settled down with *mumble*[1] though. I think it's related to the realization that deep down, all distributions are alike. You can coax them into doing what you want, the only difference is how hard it is.
It's easy to shape and maintain, even if the initial setup might be more work than just accepting a package from another distro.
