Not as good

[shfted!]

Obviously this is not as good as Gentoo. If they were running Gentoo, they would have spent 14 hours messing with USE tags so the poor server could keep up with a slashdotting ;)

Re:Too many Distros

[Laebshade]

Though I'd prefer seeing ALL distros unite (without SCO) and call it "Final Fantasy Linux".

Do you really want a Final Fantasy Linux 8?

Oooo! Talk about stuff no one cares about

[Ridgelift]

Yoper Linux really does look like it could be the first serious competition Gentoo has had in a long time.

In other obscure news about competition that no one cares about, Bob's Fatburger is launching a new ham & swiss sandwich that may prove to be stiff competition against Arby's in the war of the cold cut sandwich arena.

if their webserver is any indication.. then no..

[joeldg]

I am gonna say "no" ..

but then, the article is slashdotted..

Gentoo Competition?

[TheLastUser]

Yoper Linux really does look like it could be the first serious competition Gentoo has had in a long time.

For what? "The worst installer of all time", or "The most time consuming distro ever".

competition

uhhhh have you heard of Red Hat, Mandrake, Suse, Debian, Turbo, etc...? First real competition...phht! Gimme a break.

Re:Competion for what?

[I_Love_Pocky!]

You're clearly stupid then.

Well I admit that freely, but how does that answer my question?

Not too intimidating...

[mod_parent_down]

After downloading the single ISO and burning it, I booted into a BASH prompt. This might sound intimidating to those newer to Linux... A little fiddling reviled that the prompt had a few basic commands such as mount and access to Vim.

Oh yeah. If you're intimidated by a Bash prompt, you're gonna LOVE vim.

Ok, Lemme just type--

BEEP!

What the...

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Ah! I just want to edit the--

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Yoper's popularity has absolutely skyrocketed with the release of v2.1

In other words, it went from having 2 users to having 12 users. Most other distros gained only a few percent during the same time period, Yoper's install base jumped sixfold! Statistics are fun.

It's from New Zealand

It must be ph33red.

Re:ha

Actually this seems the opposite of Gentoo: Quoting TFA "The install was completed, start to finish, in under 15 minutes.".

These guys can't be beaten in how _quickly_ an install takes place. Gentoo can't be beaten in how _long_ an install takes.

Next out, Yoder Linux...

[Nuclear Elephant]

...Linux for the Amish.

Re:That's great

[Scaba]

I tried following the directions and wound up with jack.

Ahhh, you must have followed the wrong directions. Jack [sourceforge.net] is a low-latency audio server, designed for professional audio work. Maybe you should consider KPlayer [sourceforge.net], the wonderful KDE frontend to mplayer [mplayerhq.hu]?
