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".

yoper- selecting packages
by crawancon on Fri 6th Aug 2004 04:20 UTC

I was able to select each package i wanted from a nice list.
i honestly don't remember the "option" as it were, but it was there, and presented me with a tree-list of packages and groups they fall under, "development, system tools, multimedia.." etc. but i do believe you're right, xmms was not there, and neither was an office suite, but a few editors that it provides will work for basic users of word and such. Since this distribution was based around speed and efficiency, that sort of explains the lack of office suite, and is easily apt-get-able for people who require it. I recently installed ut2k4 on the distro just to see performance, and well, basically out of the box, gets same frame rates (+/- 10.. depending..) as direct3d, although some graphics didnt display as they do in d3d.
over all i am pleased, and for now it will remain on my system. im happy with a bleeding kernel, full package support, and general packages i use every day. (xmms, mplayer, firefox, etc..) perhaps boot times can be tweaked, i havent tried yet. i've installed fluxbox with no problems, and have a nice/responsive system up in not much time, and.. it seems stable.
