Cool Yoper Linux?

Has anyone tried it? I'm reading about it and it seems VERY fast.


I was thinking of putting it on another build and taking KDE off and installing something light like Xfce on it. I'd do it mostly because this computer has to be quick and i dont want to bother installing Gentoo (it was a PITA once )

i have tried it and it is very fast on hard disk transactions in my cpu it detected a operation called raid SSSE x2 1672 Mb'S or something like it.

It works on pentiumII, III, IV and all compatible celerons II, III, IV series
It is said to work on AMD processors 32Bits

nearly forgot it only comes with kde window manager i do not know if it is possible to install other display managers
ask at the yoper forums they might know.

I tried it some time ago and found it pretty buggy. It was reasonably fast, however. For speed and stability, nothing I've tried is better than slackware. Slack is very fast, faster than gentoo or yoper IMHO, and very stable. It's pretty hard core though; no fancy gui config utilities but if you installed gentoo, you can probably handle slack.

I have Slack on my other comp...

with Xfce and given the hardware differences between the 2 computers, Slack is definately faster
