Hello Luggers, Just downloaded and installed yoper V 2.0.Has anybody else tried yoper before.The only thing i liked very much about X/kde works very fast.Boots GUI mode very fast.The Yoper Official website states : "The "fastest out of the box" OS, YOPER Linux V series, continues its global climb with the next stable release of V2 tagged 2.1.0, a powerful OS built upon the proven speed technologies that have made its predecessors famous. Known to be a commercial strength Desktop Solution at 0 cost, this release provides the power user with many new features, encompassing REISER4 support for the root filesystem, new non-destructive NTFS resizing, graphical partitioning, option to use GRUB or LILO bootloaders, a new clustered control panel, KDE 3.3.0 Final, Linux Kernel 2.6.8.1, default Firewall and the OpenOffice.org Office Suite, all provided on 1 CD.

hi, there are two types of install in gentoo. One is thru a net connection which is not possible for a dialup connection or a broadband (i mean there are high chances of disconnectin in India lollll). The other is to build it frmo binaries for your appropriate processor.I would recommend the second one. My case study: I had a PIII system. SO i downloaded two iso's: install-x86*.iso this iso is for a basic install of gentoo.It is common to all types of systems. The second one is package-(architecture).iso which is different for every system. Since i had PIII i downloaded the package iso for my system. This is all u need. BETTER HAVE A INSTALLATION MANUAL for gentoo. it's there in the installation cd itself. i hope this helps. pankaj -----Original Message----- From: Rohit Baisakhiya <rohitbaisakhiya(a)speedpost.net> To: "GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai, India" <linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in> Date: Wed, 01 Sep 2004 10:03:38 +0530 Subject: Re: Re: [ILUG-BOM] KDE 3.3.0 Final Included with yoper 2 distro anybody tried yet On Wed, 2004-09-01 at 00:10, Pankaj wrote: Hello Luggers, > hi, > > I definitely agree with Nikhil. > There has been tremendous speed improvements with my PIII machine.Till now i have been using Redhat and Fedora. > BUt gentoo has impressed me a lot as it allows me to upgrade and resolves dependencies while getting the flab out of the packages.I took approx 3-days of R&D to get it working (compiling and installing and doing r&d). > That was becoz of my ignorance of config files. > BUt finally it worked and I am impressed with the responsive ness of applications.and i am having 3.2.2KDe and 2.6 Gnome. > > Cheers to GENTOO... I too would like to try Gentoo,but is it so that gentoo need fast internet connection to be installed through net.Or is it installable through the 1st boot cd and the pentium4 packages cd.

hi, I definitely agree with Nikhil. There has been tremendous speed improvements with my PIII machine.Till now i have been using Redhat and Fedora. BUt gentoo has impressed me a lot as it allows me to upgrade and resolves dependencies while getting the flab out of the packages.I took approx 3-days of R&D to get it working (compiling and installing and doing r&d). That was becoz of my ignorance of config files. BUt finally it worked and I am impressed with the responsive ness of applications.and i am having 3.2.2KDe and 2.6 Gnome. Cheers to GENTOO...

Well I use Gentoo and frankly I am not a Guru. Gentoo is IMHO the "best" source-based Linux distribution. It gives you the power of installing either binary packages or source based "portages". The major advantage is that you can install portages so that you have applications that are tailor-made for your CPU: Why install i386/i586/i686 rpm's when you have Pentium 4 or Athlon XP ? Needless to say if you have a P4 or XP processor you get a speed/performance advantage. Gentoo is closest that Linux gets to the supposedly venerable FreeBSD.
