Guest GorGor Report post Posted February 25, 2003 Hi www.yoper.com is talked about with some other posts. linuxformat uk magazine feb edition has a cd out for Yoper and I forget but me thinks its a release candidate. I tried it and was overall impressed with its install time of about 30 mins on my hardware. Main thing I liked KDE 3.1 was much faster than kde 3.0 something from Mdk 9.0. Main dislikes, too new for a conservative user like me. And bit like Gentoo you are going to do some source rpm or tarballs to get your fav applications on. I wasn't too sure about if there was a central contral center like MCC. end of gossip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul 9 Report post Posted February 25, 2003 as far as I am aware (I haven't actually tried it) it doesn't have *Control Center* But I will give it a go, and probabl give it some support, I am already a member of the mailing lists ...... But its one more for NZ :#: ... cool 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdg 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2003 I tried it a few weeks ago, but it didn't pick up my modem or sound card. As far as I can see, there's no where to manually configure, except maybe console, which I'm not too good at. They had a forum, but it's been closed until the final release comes out. So, in short, it's just sitting on my computer until I figure out how to use it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoulSe 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2003 I've been trying to get onto their page to find out what all the hoo ha is about - but it's been down all day. Anyway, it would have to be pretty freakin' amazing to make me move away from Mandrake (we're rated second at distrowatch!). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
