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 is not designed to attract people wanting 10.000 packages, but then Yoper can have 10.000 packages by using packages from other distros.

Since when does size matter anyhow. Soon Yoper might have 10.000 packages (our buildserver will handle this soon), will that make a real difference? I doubt it, since my targer market does not reallu use more than 500-1000 packages.

complete wlan integration is currently being worked on for release 2.0.1.

The installer is being reworked also for release 2.0.1. This will include more explanations on each step, more choices for powerusers and the ability to add a home partition. A completely new GUI based installer will be available by the end of the year.

some mice are tricky, but 2.0.1 has new routines to fix that.

Yoper is not a replacement for other Linux distro's. Yoper does not target 5% of the computer market (linux users). Yoper does not compete with any other linux.

I love all Linuxes, that is why I created Yoper. To integrate the best of bread distro features. I also don't like M$ (90% of the computer users) and as such I will try my best to include the excellent suggestions from the review and the comments into the distro. They will make it even easier to install Yoper (a poll on our site suggests that 90% of people say Yoper was easy to install). Yoper is not designed for the Linux power user, there are plenty of alternatives out there for such a user. The power user might enjoy however that it allows him to get a base system going in no time.

I am glad that so many comments are positive and the positive critizism will be heard and followed. Thanks very much everyone!
