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".

It sounds promising, but a minute to boot? My Debian installation that has been pounded on for 2 years and has all sorts of stuff installed boots in 1:14 from Grub to fully loaded KDE.

For a distro that makes such a big deal about speed, a minute plus 2-5 seconds for KDE is decidedly unimpressive.

I'm guessing most of the speed improvements are from prelinking KDE. It does make a big difference for KDE apps. The other optimizations are insignificant for most applications.
